The first step is to find the proportion of non-B grades. This can be done by finding (A + C + D + F)/(A + B + C + D + F), which for me was about 0.59.
Then just multiply: 0.59*115 = 68.17, and 70 is the closest to it. Note that A is a grade that isn't B, so that does have to be included.

The number of students in De Beque not earning a B = All of the students in De Beque minus those earning a B
Since the grades are evenly distributed among the different districts, the number of B's De Beque will get will correspond to the weight De Beque represents among the total number of students
namely, 115/1105
De Beque gets 115/1105 of all B's
Therefore the number of B's De Beque gets is = (115/1105)*450 = around 47
Final answer is 115-47= 68
Which is close to 70.
Final Answer: C
