Six teachers at Histogram High School are brand new teachers this year. These teachers represent 15% of the teachers at the school. How many teachers work at Histogram High School? SHOW WORK! A single answer is cool and all but thats not really gonna cut it. Even a simply division problem is fine just show me how you got your answer.

Answer:

40 teachers at the high school

Explanation:

6/15% = Y/100%

or:

15y = 6*100

15y = 600

y = 600/100 = 40
