Given data:
The numbers of students in business college is B=2,900.
The numbers of students in engineering college is E=1,500.
The numbers of students in fine arts is A=1,000.
The percentage of total number of students in fine arts is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=\frac{A}{B+E+A}\times100 \\ =\frac{1,000}{2,900+1,500+1,000}\times100 \\ =18.52\text{ percent} \\ \approx18\text{ percent} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the percentage of the students in fine arts is 18 %.
