Question

In Ms. Briscoe's class, 60% of the students have a little brother. There are 24 students in the class with little brothers. How many total students are in the class?

Answer 1

60% have a litle brother... it they are 24 then:

60% is to 24 as 100% is to x

so x = 24/(60%) = 24/0.6 = 40

the answer is 40
