Question

At Middle school ,60% of the 800 students participate in music. How many students participate in music.???

Answer 1

480

Explanation:

800=100% value

x-60%

800/x = 100%/60%

now solve for x

(800/x)*x=(100/60)*x ( multiply both sides of the equation by x )

800=1.66666666667*x ( then we divide both sides of the equation by 1.66666666667 to get x )

480 = x

x= 480

so 60% of 800 is 480

Answer 2

It would be 480, because I did it in Desmos
