A. 10/17
B. 3/17
C. 2/17
D. 6/17
The probability of finding a green ball is given by

Q #1: There are 1200 students enrolled in four allied health programs at a local community college. The percent students in each program are displayed in the pie chart. Which of the following is the number of students enrolled in the radiologic technology program?
A. 216
B. 504
C. 228
D. 252
Answer Explanation
We are asked to find the number of students enrolled in the radiologic program using the information provided on the pie chart.
If we let x represent the number of students enrolled in the radiologic program, we set a proportion equation with number of students on the numerator and percentages on the denominator.
Total percent in the pie chart adds to 100%, which equals 1200 students. Then, 21% will represent
We solve the value of x by cross-multiplying the equation above.
Therefore, 252 students will enroll for a radiologic program.
