Answer:

The total number of students in the gymnastics are 70.

Explanation:

Given:

Fifty-six students in a gymnastics club participated in the last fundraiser.

In the gymnastics club 80% of the students in the club participated in the fundraiser.

Now, to find the total number of students in the gymnastics.

Let the total number of students be
x.

Number of students participated in the club = 56.

Percent of students participated in the club = 80%.

According to question:


80\%\ of\ x=56


(80)/(100) * x=56


0.8* x=56

Dividing both sides by 0.8 we get:


x=70.

Therefore, the total number of students in the gymnastics are 70.
