Question

In a class of 24 students,75% brought back their permission slips for a trip. How many students is this?

I need a break down please

Answer 1

18 students.
x/24=75/100
(cross multiply 24x100=1800)
then you're left with 100x=1800 so you divide 100 by both sides and get 18

Answer 2

the correct answer is 18 students
