New york state has taken a leading position in raising the standards of its high school graduates. in the year 2003, every graduate needed to pass a series of test call regents exams. your cousin lives in a new york state county in which only 6/10 graduates receive regents diploma. if 5400 students in your cousin’s county earned a regents diploma last year, estimate the total number of high school graduates in the county last year?

9000 school graduates.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Only 6/10 graduates receive a diploma and 5400 students graduated last year.

6 people regents exam when the total graduates are        =  10

1 people regents exam when the total graduates are         =  10/6

5400 people regents exam when the total graduates are =   (10/6)*5400

                                                                                                =  9000

So, the total number of high school graduates is 9000.
