Question

A middle school took all of its 6th grade students on a field trip to see a play at a theater that has 3700 seats. The students filled 52% of the seats in the theater. How many 6th graders went on the trip?

Answer 1

Answer: 1924

Explanation:

Number if seats in the theater = 3700

Percentage of seats filled by students in the theater = 52%

The number of 6th graders that went on the trip will be gotten by multiplying 52% by 3700. This will be:

= 52% × 3700

= 52/100 × 3700

= 0.52 × 3700

= 1924

1924 students went on the trip
