Question

In Ms. Perron's class, 75% of the students are boys. There are 18 boys in the class. What is the total number of students in Ms. Perron's class

Answer 1

75% is equivalent to 3/4.

Thus, since there are a total of 18 boys in the class, 18 is 3/4 of the total number of students in the class.

4/4 = total number of students.

18 x 4/3 = 24


`(18)/( (3)/(4) )` = 24

24 students in Ms. Perron's class.

Answer 2

18boys:x(people in the class)=75:100
X=(18*100)/75
X=24 total students
