Question

At at school, 40% of the sixth-grade students said that hip-hop id their favorite kind of music. If 100 sixth-grade students prefer hip-hop music, how many sixth-grader students are at the school? Please explain your reasoning :)

Answer 1

The answer is 250 sixth-grade students are at the school. 40% split in half is 20%, and if 40% is 100 students then 20% is 50 students. Then you multiple 50 x 5 because 20 goes into 100 5 times. So the answer is 250 sixth-grade students. Hope I could help! :D
