Question

At George Washington High School, 119 students walk to school. If this number is 35% of school enrollment, then how many students are enrolled at the school ?

Answer 1

Answer: 340 students

Explanation:

The number of students walking to school is 119 and this is 35% of the total number of students.

Assume the total number is denoted by "x".

That would mean that the following formula captures the situation:

119 = 35% * x

119 = 0.35x

x = 119/ 0.35

= 340 students
