Answer: 112 7th graders ride the bus .

Explanation:

Given: The proportion of 7th graders ride the bus to school= 35% = 0.35 [to remove % we divide number by 100]

If there are 320 seventh graders, then the number of 7th graders ride the bus = 320 x (proportion of 7th graders ride the bus to school)


0.35 * 320


= 112

Hence, 112 7th graders ride the bus .
