Answer:

30 students

Explanation:

Let's use algebra to solve this problem.

Let "x" represent the total number of students in Mr. Albert's class.

We are given that one-tenth of the students had perfect attendance, and we know that 3 students had perfect attendance.

So, we can write the equation:


\sf (1)/(10)* x = 3

Now, to find the total number of students (x), we can solve for x by multiplying both sides of the equation by 10:


\sf (1)/(10)* x * 10 = 3* 10


\sf x = 30

So, there are 30 students in Mr. Albert's class.
