Given

30 8th graders

9 dropped out before the first practice

Total = 30 - 9 = 21 8th graders

Procedure

46% of the club are 8th graders

T: Total of studetns

$\begin{gathered} 21=T\cdot46\text{ 2/3 \%} \\ T=(21)/(0.46666) \\ T=45 \end{gathered}$

The total students in the running club would be 45 students and 21 from 8th graders
