Answer 2

Answer: 20 students

Explanation:

Of the students in Miss Danvers class,we are told that six students walk to school and this represents 30% of the students. To calculate the number of students in miss Danvers class will be:

Let the total number of students be y. This will be:

30% of y = 6

30/100 × y = 6

0.3 × y = 6

0.3y = 6

Divide both side by 0.3

0.3y/0.3 = 6/0.3

y = 20

The total number of students in the class is 20.
