Answer:

Explanation:

56.3% of the student got A

15 students got A

Then,

Let the total number of students be x

56.3% of x= got A

56.3/100 × x =15

0.563x=15

Then x=15/0.563

x=26.6

The number of students can't or be 26.6 so let approximate it

Then, x=27

Therefore 27students are in the class
