Question

All the students in six grade purchase their lunch or bought their lunch from home on Friday. 24% of the students purchased a lunch and 190 students brought their lunch from home how many total students are in six grade

Answer 1

Answer: 250 students

Step-by-step explanation:

since we know that 24% purchased their lunch, we know 76% brought their lunch from home. It is given that 190 students brought their lunch from home so we can create the proportion

$\frac{76}{100}=\frac{190}{x}$

then we use cross multiplication to solve for x and we get 250 students.
