Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question is asking for the percentage of full-time faculty members who are African American, Hispanic American, and Native American. We are given the percentage of White Americans as 79%, which means the remaining percentage is 21%. We need to divide this 21% into the other three categories. African Americans make up "percent" of this group, Hispanic Americans make up 4.2%, and Native Americans make up .5%. Adding these three percentages together, we get a total of 7.7%. However, the question only asks for the percentage of African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans, so we only need to consider the sum of those percentages, which is 7%. Therefore, the answer is C)7.
