Question

There are 240 students in Misty's school. This is 5 percent of the total students in the school district. How many students are in the school district?

Answer 1

Given

There are 240 students in Misty's school. This is 5 percent of the total students in the school district.

Find out the total number of students are in the school district.

To proof

Let us assume that their are 100 % student are studying in the school district.

As given in the question 5% of the the total students in the school district.

240 students in Misty's school this is 5% of the the total students in the school district.

5% of the the total students in the school district = 240

For 100 % of the the students in the school district

equation becomes

`Total\ student\ in\ the\ school\ district = (240)/(5)*100`

Solve this

`Total\ student\ in\ the\ school\ district = (24000)/(5)`

Therefore

Total students are in the school district = 4800

Hence proved
