Question

HELP NOW! A music club has 35 drum players. If 25% of the total number of members in the club are drum players, what is the total number of members in the club?

Answer 1

There's a way to think about it, in case you get other questions like this.

When you look at your problem, take out the 35. Out of the picture.

Look at 25%. 25% x 4 = 100% Meaning 4 is golden.

Then bring back the 35 and multiply it by 4. It gives you 140.

:)))) Use this mentallity on other question on percentages!

Answer 2

140 total members. 35 is just 1/4 of the members there so you can just multiply it 4 times to get your answer because 100% of members is 140

35 = 25%
70 = 50%
105 = 75%
140 = 100%
