Paragraph Finding the part, percent, and the whole Styles 1) Sixteen students in the school band play clarinet. Clarinet players make up 20 %v of the band. How many students are in the school band?​

Answer 1

80

Explanation:

You know that 20% of the school band are 16 clarinet players, or 16 is 20% of the band.

You can set up the equation 0.2x = 16 and divide both sides by 0.2. You then get that x = 80, so there are 80 kids in the school band.
