The total number of students is 76, this represents the 100%

To determine how many students have a b+, considering that they represent the 23.7% of the students you cann apply cross multiplication:

100% ______76

23.7%______x


\begin{gathered} (76)/(100)=(x)/(23.7) \\ x=((76)/(100))\cdot23.7 \\ x=18.012 \end{gathered}

18.012 students have a b+ or higher grade.
