Question 486638: I have a question. I realize you do not have the pie chart in front of you, but I'm not sure how to start to solve this word problem. Do you know the formula to solve?(see below)
The percentage amount of Federal Campus Base student on the pie chart is 2%.
Approximately 8.6% of campus-based federal student aid is given to students in two-year public institutions. How much campus-based aid did students at two-year public institutions receive in 2006?
Answer by chessace(471)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! See problem 486630. That student left out the 2% part.
Your sentence with "2%" leaves out $, which is reasonable to assume.
In that case answer = 2% * 8.6% of total = 0.00172 * total.
To be clear, I'm assuming the rest of the pie chart shows various slices totaling 98% of all campus based students' cost, in which each source of funds is not federal aid.
