Every student graduating from Burgerville College is either a 4-year student or a transfer student. If Burgerville is graduating an equal number of 4-year students and transfer students, what fraction of the students who graduate with honors are transfer students?
(1) Of the 700 transfer students graduating, 300 are graduating with honors.
(2) Fifty percent more transfer students than 4-year students are graduating with honors.
(1) Of the 700 transfer students graduating, 300 are graduating with honors.
(2) Fifty percent more transfer students than 4-year students are graduating with honors.
The fraction will be: Transfer Students Graduating with Honors/Total Students Graduating with Honors
(1) Of the 700 transfer students graduating, 300 are graduating with honors.
From this statement we know that there are 300 transfer students who graduated with honors. However, no info is provided that will allow us to find the total number of students who graduate with honors.
Insufficient
(2) Fifty percent more transfer students than 4-year students are graduating with honors.
This shows that for every 1 4-year student graduating with honors, there are 1.5 transfer students graduating with honors. Which means that the ratio of transfer students graduating with honors to 4-year students graduating with honors is \(1.5:1\) or \(3:2\). This means that the fraction of students who are graduating with honors who are transfer students is \(\frac{3}{5}\).
Sufficient

This is wrong
S1 literally says that there are "700 transfer students graduating". I think you misread that part. S1 is sufficient
S2 I cant understand your explanation but im pretty sure S2 is insufficient
