Question

If 12% of the students are majoring in art and there are 333 art majors how many total students are at he school?

Answer 1

Let the total number of students in school=x
Then 12% of x = 333
As 12%= 12/100.

`(12)/(100) * x =333`
Multiply both sides by 100.
12x=33300
Divide both sides by 12.
x=2775

So total number of students in school is 2775.
