Answer:
112
Step-by-step explanation:
The general form of all percentage questions is: the chunk= (some percentage) (of the whole), or c=p*w
We know that 18% of students are 8th grade and that is 126 students, so p = 0.18 and c=126 (126 students are 18% of the whole school)
126 = (0.18)w, divide both sides by 0.18
126/(0.18) = w = 700
9th graders are 16% of the school or 16% of 700 students
c = (0.16) 700 = 112 students
