Answer:3200

Step-by-step explanation: basically u gotta divide 1536 by 48 to get one percent of the kids. this is equal to 32. After you get this you gotta multiply by 100 to get the final answer which is 3200.

Answer 2

Answer: 3200

Explanation:

First, we know that 48 % is 0.48 in decimal number so we will make this equation:

0.48 times the total of children = the boys that are in the summer camp

0.48 times X=1536

To isolate the x we can divide 1536/0.48 = 3200

So the 48% of 3200= 1536

Because 0.48 * 3200=1536
