Select an option to attempt

Explanation

Let X be the total number of professors in the university. Since 8 professors represent 2% of X, we set up the equation:

8=(2100)×X8 = (\frac{2}{100}) \times X

Solving for X Rearranging the equation:

X=(8×100)/2X = (8 \times 100) / 2 X=800/2X = 800 / 2 X=400X = 400

Selecting the Correct Answer The correct answer from the given options is: A. 400
