Question

56% of the students in the chorus are also in the musical. If there are 75 students in the chorus, how many are in the musical?

Answer 1

There are 42 students in the musical.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of students in both chorus and musical.

75 ⇒100%

x⇒56%

Find x,

x=56% divided by 100% times 75

Which equals 42 is your answer.

Answer 2

To determine the number of students who are in both the chorus and the musical, multiply the total number of chorus students (75) by the percentage who are in the musical (56%), resulting in 42 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the number of chorus students who are also in the musical, given that 56% of the chorus students participate in the musical and there are 75 students in the chorus.

1. Determine the percentage of chorus students in the musical, which is 56%.
2. Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100, which gives 0.56.
3. Multiply the decimal by the total number of chorus students to find out how many are also in the musical: 0.56 * 75.
4. The calculation will result in 42 students (75 * 0.56 = 42).

Therefore, out of the 75 students in the chorus, 42 students are also in the musical.
