In the middle school debate club, 30% of the members are in sixth grade. If there are 12 sixth graders in the debate club, how many total members are there?

the answer to this would be 40 because you multiply 12x0.30 and get 40 which mean 12 is 30% of 40 total

40 members
x * 0.3 = 12

x = 12 / 0.3 = 40

12 is 30% of the number 40
