Question

Answer 1

60 fam ;3

Explanation:

Answer 2

Assume that the number of students in grade six is n.
We are given that 60% of the students ate the pizza and that the total number of students who ate pizza is 36.

This means that 36 students represent 60% of the total number of students.
In other words:
60% * n = 36
0.6n = 36
n = 36 / 0.6
n = 60

Based on the above calculations, the total number of students in grade six is 60 students
