B	300	325	475
C	325	300	325

The number of students studying B.B.A. in College C is approximately what percent of the total number studying B.B.A. in all five colleges together?

A21%

B39%

C33%

D17% ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) 17%

Explanation

The answer is about 17 percent.

The total B.B.A. across colleges is 425 plus 475 plus 325 plus 425 plus 225, which is 1875.

College C has 325 B.B.A. students.

So the share is 325 divided by 1875, times 100.

That is about 17.3 percent.

The other options do not match this value.

So the answer is 17 percent.
