Question: 326
5. College X Majors One Year After Graduation
If the number of history majors graduated from College X was 300, approximately what was the difference in the number of history majors employed and the number of history majors enrolled in graduate school?
- A. 50
- B. 75
- C. 80
- D. 85
Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
The answer is E
The graph indicates that 30% of the history majors were employed, and 60% were enrolled in graduate school. As there were 300 history majors, solve for the number of majors in each category: 
× 300 = 90, and 
× 300 = 180. Find the difference: 180 - 90 = 90.
