There are 800 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 nursing program?
A. 168
B. 144
C. 336
D. 152
we are asked to find the number of students enrolled in the nursing program using the percentages in the pie chart.
If we let x represent the number of students enrolled in the nursing program, we set a proportion equation with number of students on the numerator and percentages on the denominator.
Total percent in the pie chart is 100%, which equals 800 students. Then, 42% will represent
We solve the value of x by cross-multiplying the equation above.
Therefore, 336 students will enroll for a nursing program.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.
