Utilization is calculated as actual output divided by effective capacity. The effective capacity is 90% of 1900 students, which equals 1710 students. The actual output is 1500 students. Therefore, utilization = (1500 / 1710) * 100% = 87.7%. However, there seems to be a mistake in my explanation regarding the correct choice based on the calculation provided. The correct calculation for utilization should indeed be (1500 / 1710) * 100%, which equals approximately 87.7%, but due to the initial instruction mistake, the correct choice based on the calculation is not listed correctly in the options provided.
