The total number of college students was 17.94 million.
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage of part time students = 34%
Number of part time students = 6.1 million
Let,
x be the total number of students
According to statement,
34% of x = 6.1 million
[tex]\frac{34}{100}x=6.1\ million\\0.34x=6.1[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 0.34
[tex]\frac{0.34x}{0.34}=\frac{6.1}{0.34}\\x=17.94\ million[/tex]
The total number of college students was 17.94 million.
