Answer:
30 students.
Step-by-step explanation:
In Professor Shannon's economics class the number of male students = 12
Females represent 60% of the class total.
Let the total number of students in the class be 'x'
Females are 60%, so male students are 40%.
Therefore, the expression would be
40% of x = 12
0.4x = 12
x = [tex]\frac{12}{0.4}[/tex]
x = 30
Total number of students are 30 in his economics class.
