Hey there!
When dealing with percent word problems, the word "is" means equals. Let's see what we can do with your problem.
If the small school had 60% boys, it will have 40% girls. The number of boys <em>is</em> 48, which should equal 60% of the total, which we can model below, with t representing the total number of kids. In decimal form, 60% is 0.6.
0.6t=48
We divide both sides by 0.6.
t=80
Therefore, there are 80 total kids at the school.
We can also check our answer below.
BOYS: 0.6(80)= 48
GIRLS: 0.4(80)=32
48+32=80
I hope that this helps!
Check if you can write an equation relating the term number to the actual value
n1=3
n2=10 = 3+7
n3= 17 = n2+7 = n1+7+7 = n1 +2*7
n4= 24 = n1+3*7
so you will notice a pattern
for the x-th term
n_x =3+(x-1)*7
the 50th term would be n_50 = 3+(50-1) * 7
