Question #e2032

Answer 1

Student ratio is `7:4 or 7C` to `4N`

If `C=28`, then `N=16`, so total students `=44`

Explanation:

We know the student ratio was `7:4` for those who went to college `C` and those who did not `N`.

So for every `7C` there are `4N`. And `28` went to college.

For this year: `7C=28`, so the multiplier for `C` is `28/7=4`.

Because of the ratio, that means the multiplier for `N` is also `4`.

Then `4N=4xx4=16`, so 16 students did not go to college.

Graduating class was then `28+16=44` students.
