Using proportions, it is found that 8 more seventh graders are involved in the yearbook.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

Researching the problem on the internet, it is found that 10% of the 6th graders and 18% of the 7th graders are on the yearbook, hence:

0.1 x 280 = 28 6th graders.

0.18 x 200 = 36 7th graders.

36 - 28 = 8

8 more seventh graders are involved in the yearbook.
