Question

The 11 students in the Environmental Club represent 5% of the students in the seventh grade. How many students are in the seventh grade?

Answer 1

Answer: 220

Explanation:

Create ratios using fractions, one for the students, and one for the percent

students:
`(11)/(x)` percents:
`(5)/(100)`

Then cross multiply 1.
`11 *100 = 1100`, 2.
`1100 / 5 = 220`

So
`x = 220`, this means there are a total of 220 students in 7th grade
