You can put this solution on YOUR website!
42% out of state
58% in-state

Notice how 42% + 58% = 100%

So if you are given 42% out of state, you can calculate the in-state percentage by saying 100 - 42 = 58

-------------------------------------------------------------------

58% of 1400 = 0.58*1400 = 812

There are 812 in-state students.
