Answer:
250 students in the library
Explanation:
Let x be the number of students in the library.
We are told that 32% of the students are boys, and that there are 80 of the creatures. We can write that as an equation:
(32%)x = 80 [32% of the total, x, are boys, of which there are 80]
Conert the 5 to decimal value:
(0.32)x = 80
x = (80)/(0.32)
x = 250 students
CHECK:
Does 32% of 250 students equal 80?
(0.32)*(250) = 80 YES
