Question

Practice Problems Unit 3 Lesson 12

There are 70 students in the school band. 40% of them are sixth graders, 20% are seventh graders, and the rest are eighth graders.

How many band members are sixth graders?

Answer 1

28 band members

Explanation:

Since 40% of the band members are sixth graders, we need to take 40% of 70 total students.

40% of 70 = 0.40*70 = 28

So 28 band members are in sixth grade
