You can put this solution on YOUR website! The ratio of graduate students to undergraduates at a certain university is 9 to 5. If there are 3780 undergraduates at the
university, what is the total population?
**
let x=total population
x-3780=number of graduate students
9/5=(x-3780)/3780
5(x-3780)=9*3780
5x-18900=34020
5x=34020+18900=52920
x=52920/5=10584
total population=10,584 students
