The total number of students in Economics and Psychology is what percentage of the total number of students in History, Political Science and Sociology (correct to two decimal places)? Correct Answer 44.44
Calculation:
The total number of students in Economics and Psychology = 96 + 84 = 180
The total number of students in History, Political Science and Sociology = 160 + 120 + 125 = 405
% = 180/405 × 100% = 44.44%
∴ The total number of students in Economics and Psychology is 44.44% of the total number of students in History, Political Science and Sociology.
