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

The number of students in the school band = 70

40% of students in the school band are sixth graders.

20% of students in the school band are seventh graders.

We have to find the number of band members that are sixth graders.

The number of sixth graders in school band are:

`40\% of 70`

`0.40 * 70`

`28`

Therefore, there are 28 band members that are sixth graders.
