Question

At Bright Futures Middle School, 576 students ride their bike to school . If this number is 75% of the school enrollment, then how many students are enrolled

Answer 1

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

students on bike = 576

% students on bike = 75%

total students = ?

Step 02:

total students

`\text{ \% students on bike = }\frac{students\text{ on bike }}{\text{total students }}\cdot100`
`\begin{gathered} 75\text{ = }\frac{576}{\text{total students }}\cdot100 \\ \text{total students = }(576)/(75)\cdot100 \end{gathered}`

total students = 768

The answer is:

The number of total students is 768.
