Question

Forty-eight 6th graders bring their lunch to school. This is thirty percent of the 6th-grade class. How many students are in the 6th grade? (number only to the nearest whole)

Answer 1

160 students in the 6th grade.

Explanation:

There are 160 students in the 6th grade because if 48 students is 30 percent then 10 percent is 16. Meaning that 100 percent would be 160.

Students l Percent

--------------l-------------------

48 = l 30

16 = l 10

160 = l 160

^ Hope that makes sense! (tried my best to do a ratio table :/ )
