The number of undergraduate students in the college

Solution:

To calculate the number of undergraduate students in the college we have to convert the percentage into the number of students.

Percentage to numbers is calculated by multiplying the percentage in decimal form with the total strength of the students.

Percentage in decimal form = $15\%=0.15$

Now we have to multiply the decimal form of the percentage with the total number of students to calculate the actual number of students.

Number of undergraduate students = $0.15\times 2500 = 375$ students

Therefore there are 375 undergraduate students as calculated using percentages.
