There is at least one boy in my dance class, but more than 94% of the total number of

students are girls. What is the least number of students that could be in my class?

Explanation:

.94x = x-1

.06x = 1

x = 16 2/3 which is not a whole number so there must be at LEAST 17 people in class

then if one is a boy there are 16 girls 16/17 = 94.11 % girls with one boy
