Which college has the least number of students without low income, if we assume that every college has same number of total students?
AA ✓ Correct

When every college has the same total, the share without low income is simply 100 minus the percentage with low income. These come to 65 for A, 75 for B, 76 for C, 81 for D and 85 for E. The college with the smallest without low income share is the one with the highest low income percentage, which is College A at 65.
