Studdy Solution

STEP 1

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

STEP 2

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

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 to calculate the percentage.
$Percentage = \frac{38}{369} \times100$

STEP 4

Calculate the percentage.
$Percentage = \frac{38}{369} \times100 =10.3 \%$ So,10.3% of the graduates are white and planning to attend a2-year college.
