Question

76. 30 students at a sports event are

Answer 1

Answer:

75 students

Step-by-step explanation:

So firstly lets make convert these words to alegbra :

30 people are 40%of the total students at the event meaning that the following equation can be made :

30 = 40% of x    (x is the unknown amount of students there)

30 = 40% * x

30 = 0.4x (we can convert the precentage into a decimal by dividing by 100)

Now that we have the equation that 30 = 0.4x we can evalute it and find x :

30=0.4x

30/0.4=0.4x/0.4 (divide by 0.4 on both sides)

75=x

So thats how we get that 75 students were in the event in total.
