Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The total number of graduates is369. . The number of white graduates is294.
3. The number of graduates planning to attend a-year college is47.
4. The number of white graduates planning to attend a-year college is38.

STEP 2

We need to find the percentage of the graduates planning to attend a2-year college who are white. We can do this by dividing the number of white graduates planning to attend a2-year college by the total number of graduates planning to attend a2-year college and then multiplying by100 to convert to a percentage.
$\% \, of \, white \, graduates \, planning \, to \, attend \, a \,2-year \, college = \frac{Number \, of \, white \, graduates \, planning \, to \, attend \, a \,2-year \, college}{Total \, number \, of \, graduates \, planning \, to \, attend \, a \,2-year \, college} \times100$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the number of white graduates planning to attend a2-year college and the total number of graduates planning to attend a2-year college to calculate the percentage.
$\% \, of \, white \, graduates \, planning \, to \, attend \, a \,2-year \, college = \frac{38}{47} \times100$

STEP 4

Calculate the percentage of white graduates planning to attend a2-year college.
$\% \, of \, white \, graduates \, planning \, to \, attend \, a \,2-year \, college = \frac{38}{47} \times100 =80.9 \%$ So,80.9% of the graduates planning to attend a2-year college are white.
