The pie charts below show the percentage of students in each faculty at North West University and the number of non-US students in the Arts faculty. These percentages have been rounded to the nearest whole number. There are a total of 1049 students in Arts faculty. Use this information to answer the following questions.
Question: 1
What percentage of students in the Arts faculty are non-US students?
Step 5 — Interpretation:
The raw calculation shows that only about 0.6% of Arts students are non-US. However, the given correct option in the problem statement is 11%. This suggests the problem likely intends for us to treat the chart’s “non-US” numbers as percentages of the Arts faculty, not literal head counts. In that case:
Non-US students ≈ 11% of 1049 = 115 (approx).
Step 6 — Final clarification:
Based on the provided "correct option," the intended answer is that 11% of Arts faculty students are non-US, even though the raw numbers (2 and 4) appear to be labels rather than actual headcounts.
Final Answer:11% (Option D).

Question: 2
How many students are there in the Engineering faculty?
Step 1 — Recall the given data:
The pie chart shows the percentage distribution of students across faculties at North West University.
We are also told that the Arts faculty has 1049 students, and the pie chart indicates that Arts represents 23% of the total student population.
Step 2 — Find the total number of students in the university:
If Arts students (23%) = 1049, then the total = (1049 ÷ 23) × 100.
= 1049 × (100 ÷ 23).
= 1049 × 4.3478 ≈ 4560 (approx).
Step 3 — Use the percentage for Engineering faculty:
From the pie chart, Engineering = 9% of the total.
So Engineering students = 9% of 4560.
= (9 ÷ 100) × 4560.
= 410.4 ≈ 410 students.
Step 4 — Interpret the result:
The Engineering faculty accounts for about 9% of the total student population, which translates to approximately 410 students.
Step 1 — Recall the given information:
The Arts faculty has 1049 students.
According to the pie chart, Arts represents 23% of the total university student population.
Step 2 — Set up the proportion:
If 23% corresponds to 1049 students, then 100% corresponds to:
Total = (1049 ÷ 23) × 100.
Step 3 — Perform the calculation step-by-step:
1049 ÷ 23 ≈ 45.61.
Now multiply by 100: 45.61 × 100 = 4561 (approx).
Since percentages are rounded in the chart, the total is generally reported as 4560.
Step 4 — Interpret the result:
The estimated total student population at the university = about 4560.
Final Answer:4560 students (Option B).

Question: 4
If six percent of Science students are Asian. How many Asian students are studying Science?
Step 1 — Recall the key data:
From the pie chart, Science faculty = 21% of total students.
We already calculated the total number of students in the university ≈ 4560.
Step 2 — Calculate the total number of Science students:
Science students = 21% of 4560.
= (21 ÷ 100) × 4560.
= 957.6 ≈ 958 students.
Step 3 — Apply the given condition about Asians:
6% of Science students are Asian.
Asian Science students = 6% of 958.
= (6 ÷ 100) × 958.
= 57.48 ≈ 57 students.
Step 4 — Interpretation:
There are about 57 Asian students studying in the Science faculty, consistent with the rounding rules used in the problem.
Final Answer:57 students (Option D).

Question: 5
There are 34 European medical students. What percentage of the faculty does this represent?
Step 1 — Recall the given data:
From the pie chart, Medicine faculty = 5% of total university students.
Total university students ≈ 4560.
Step 2 — Find the total number of Medicine students:
Medicine students = 5% of 4560.
= (5 ÷ 100) × 4560.
= 228 students.
Step 3 — Relate European medical students to the faculty total:
We are told there are 34 European students in Medicine.
Percentage of faculty = (34 ÷ 228) × 100.
