Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The total number of graduates is369. . The total number of white graduates is294.

STEP 2

We need to find the percentage of graduates who are white. We can do this by dividing the number of white graduates by the total number of graduates and then multiplying by100.
$\% \,of\, white\, graduates = \frac{Number\, of\, white\, graduates}{Total\, number\, of\, graduates} \times100$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the number of white graduates and the total number of graduates to calculate the percentage.
$\% \,of\, white\, graduates = \frac{294}{369} \times100$

STEP 4

Calculate the percentage of white graduates.
$\% \,of\, white\, graduates = \frac{294}{369} \times100 \approx79.7\%$ About79.7% of the graduates are white.
