Show Hint
- 14%
- 18%
- 16%
- 15%
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
From the Arts data, \( 0.23x = 1049 \), so \( x \approx 4560 \).
Step 2: Find the number of Medicine students.
Medicine is 5% of the total, so Medicine strength \( = 0.05 \times 4560 = 228 \) students.
Step 3: Divide the European count by the Medicine total.
European medical students are 34, so the share is \( \frac{34}{228} \times 100 \).
Step 4: Compute the percentage.
\( \frac{34}{228} \times 100 \approx 14.91\% \), which rounds to 15%.
Step 5: Rule out the other options.
14%, 18% and 16% do not equal \( 34/228 \), so only 15% is correct.
Final Answer:
Europeans make up about 15% of the Medicine faculty. \[ \boxed{15\%} \]
