Explanation:

Step1: Convert tip percentage to decimal

$18.0\% = \frac{18.0}{100} = 0.18$

Step2: Calculate tip amount

$\$52.48 \times 0.18 = 9.4464$

Step3: Round to nearest cent

$9.4464 \approx 9.45$

Step4: Find female student percentage

$100\% - 60\% = 40\% = \frac{40}{100} = 0.4$

Step5: Calculate female student count

$2680 \times 0.4 = 1072$

Answer:

Part A: $\$9.45$
Part B: 1072
