    What is percentage?

    A percentage is a value that indicates 100th part of any quantity.
    A percentage can be converted into a fraction or a decimal by dividing it by 100.
    Given that,
    The percent of students pursuing economics is 29%.
    And, the number of students pursuing economics is 2688.
    Suppose the total number of students are x.
    Then, the following equation can be written for the given case,
    29% of x = 2668
    => 29/100 × x = 2668
    => x = 2668 × 100/29
           = 9200
    Hence, the total number of students in the freshman class is 9200.
