Answer 1

Answer:

The total number of students in the gymnastics are 70.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Fifty-six students in a gymnastics club participated in the last fundraiser.

In the gymnastics club 80% of the students in the club participated in the fundraiser.

Now, to find the total number of students in the gymnastics.

Let the total number of students be $x.$

Number of students participated in the club = 56.

Percent of students participated in the club = 80%.

According to question:

$80\%\ of\ x=56$

$\frac{80}{100} \times x=56$

$0.8\times x=56$

Dividing both sides by 0.8 we get:

$x=70.$

Therefore, the total number of students in the gymnastics are 70.
