20% of the students in the sixth-grade class chose pizza for lunch. This means that 6 students chose pizza. How many students are in the sixth-grade class?

Thanks

Answer:

30

Explanation:

6/0.20 = 30.

Since to Normally find a percentage of a number, you would Multiply the percentage in decimal form, multiplied times the full amount, to get a percentage. ( 30*0.2 = 6)

So to find the full amount (in this case of students) Reverse this process, and divide the Portion by the percentage (In this scenario, 6/0.20) and you will get the full amount.

I hope this helps!
