Answer 1

25% is the same as 1/4. To find how many students are in the class, you need to multiply 8 by 4. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

You need to use is over of. you would set the problem up like this.

8/x = 25/100

next you cross multiply

25x=800

then you would divide by 25

25x/25=800/25
x=32

there are 32 kids in the class.
