Question

Ms. Geetha said that 60 of her total students will compete in the Math Olympics. If 60 is 20% of her students, how many total students does she have?

Answer 1

Answer:

300 students

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to solve this question.

• Way Number 1

60 is 20% of the total students

20÷100= 0.2

60÷0.2=300

Therefore there are 300 students

• Way Number 2

60 is 20% of the total students

60/20 = x/100

x= 60*100÷20

x= 6000÷20

x= 300

Therefore there are 300 students.
