Answer 1

The total number of students in Ms. Persons class is 24.

What is an Equation?

An equation is simply a mathematical formula that expresses the equality of two expressions.

Given the data in the question:

• 75% of the students are boys.
• number of boys in the class is 18 boys.
• Total number of students in the class y = ?

Lets y be the number of students in the class

Hence:

`75\% \ \text{of y = 18}`

`\text{Lets find y}`

`((75)/(100) ) * y = 18`

`75 * y = 18 * 100`

`75 * y = 1800`

`y = 1800 / 75`

`y = 24`

Therefore, the total number of students in Ms. Persons class is 24.
