Question

A school club sold 300 shirts. 31% were sold to fifth graders, 52% were sold to sixth graders, and the rest were sold to teachers. How many shirts were sold to each group-fifth graders, 6th graders, and teachers? Explain or show your reasoning. Please help I'm late on turning in homework!

Answer 1

300x0.31 = 93 shirts sold to 5th graders
300x0.52 = 156 shirts sold to 6th graders
156+93 = 249 shirts sold to students
300-249 = 51 shirts sold to teachers

Answer 2

5th graders = 93 people 6th graders = 156 teachers = 51

Explanation:

93 5th graders bought shirts, 156 6th graders bought shirts, 51 teachers bought shirts
