Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I believe the you just multiply 271,000 student by 52% the result is that 140,920 which is more than half of the 271,000 that should be 135,300. I hope it helps.
Answer:
As the number of students believe that abortion should be legal 140920 is greater than half students of college first year.
[tex]140920 > 135500[/tex]
This shows that t over half of all first year students believe that abortion should be legal .
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula
[tex]Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}[/tex]
As given
An annual survey of first year college students asks 271,000 students about their attitudes on a variety of subjects.
According to a recent survey, 52% of first year students believe that abortion should be legal.
Let us assume that according to the survey number of students believe that abortion should be legal be x.
Here
Percentage = 52%
Total value = 271,000
Part value = x
Put in the formula
[tex]52 = \frac{x\times 100}{271000}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{271000\times 52}{100}[/tex]
[tex]x = 2710\times 52[/tex]
x = 140920
Thus according to the survey number of students believe that abortion should be legal 140920 .
Now find out the half students of first year .
[tex]Half\ students\ of\ college\ first\ year = \frac{271000}{2}[/tex]
[tex]Half\ students\ of\ college\ first\ year = 135500[/tex]
As according to survey the number of students believe that abortion should be legal 140920 is greater than half students of college first year.
i.e
[tex]140920 > 135500[/tex]
Thus this shows that t over half of all first year students believe that abortion should be legal .
