PROBLEM

What percentage of the 13,955,000 Asians age 25+ in the U.S. have at least a bachelor's degree (8,107,000)?

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The total number of Asians age25 and over in the U.S. is13,955,000. The number of Asians age25 and over in the U.S. who have completed at least a bachelor's degree is8,107,000

STEP 2

First, we need to find the proportion of Asians age25 and over in the U.S. who have completed at least a bachelor's degree. We can do this by dividing the number of Asians who have completed at least a bachelor's degree by the total number of Asians.
Proportion=NumberofAsianswithabachelorsdegreeTotalnumberofAsiansProportion = \frac{Number\, of\, Asians\, with\, a\, bachelor's\, degree}{Total\, number\, of\, Asians}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the number of Asians with a bachelor's degree and the total number of Asians to calculate the proportion.
Proportion=8,107,00013,955,000Proportion = \frac{8,107,000}{13,955,000}

STEP 4

Calculate the proportion.
Proportion=8,107,00013,955,000=0.5806Proportion = \frac{8,107,000}{13,955,000} =0.5806

STEP 5

Now that we have the proportion, we can find the percentage by multiplying the proportion by100.
Percentage=Proportiontimes100Percentage = Proportion \\times100

STEP 6

Plug in the value for the proportion to calculate the percentage.
Percentage=0.5806times100Percentage =0.5806 \\times100

SOLUTION

Calculate the percentage.
Percentage=0.5806times100=58.06%Percentage =0.5806 \\times100 =58.06\%Approximately58.06% of Asians age25 and over in the U.S. have completed at least a bachelor's degree.
