Answer:
d, 3 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
You need more information to answer this question. Is there a table or percentage for that age group?
You are asked to find the missing value in
... 40 + ? = 70
given that it is also the solution to
... ? + 5 = 35
Either way, you subtract the constant that is on the same side of the equation as the unknown.
... 40 + ? - 40 = 70 - 40
... ? = 30 . . . . the missing value
_____
You can check to see if this also satisfies the equation
... 30 + 5 = 35 . . . . . . . true
Answer: 600 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Of the total number of sixth graders who were surveyed, 5% owned birds.
This 5% translated to 30 students.
30 students is therefore 5% of the total number of sixth graders surveyed.
Assume that number to be x:
x * 5% = 30
x = 30 / 5%
= 600 students
