AZ:

Does it tell you anywhere how many students there are at your university?

AZ:

Maybe there's a number in the beginning of the question that you forgot to copy

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @AZ Does it tell you anywhere how many students there are at your university? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Yes, once you have that then you just multiply it by its decimal form, (0.21) and then you have your answer (:

yourgrandpa:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @AZ Maybe there's a number in the beginning of the question that you forgot to copy \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) there are 6,600 total students enrolled at the University (that was the missing piece my bad)

AZ:

so multiply that with 0.21

Convert:

6,600*0.21=?

yourgrandpa:

1386.00 ?

Convert:

Yes, exactly as AZ and I have stated.

Convert:

then it'd be B (:

yourgrandpa:

Convert:

Anytime!

AZ:
