Refer to the student housing arrangements graph. If \(2,400\) total students participated in the housing survey, how many live in Greek Housing? (Recall that Greek housing represents the remaining fraction after accounting for Dorms: 40%, Apartments: 35%, and Home: 15%.)
Answer = (1)
Correct Answer
(1) 240
Explanation
As determined previously, Greek housing accounts for \(10\%\) of the total data set. Calculate \(10\%\) of \(2,400\) total students:
\[ \text{Students} = 0.10 \times 2,400 = 240 \]
