Read the problem. 10% of the students at Harris Middle School are on the yearbook committee. If 30 students are on the yearbook committee, how many students are at Harris Middle School? Pick the model that represents the problem. How many students are at Harris Middle School?

Answer 1

Answer:

100%

300 students

Step-by-step explanation:

let b = number of students in the school

this equation can be derived = 10% x b = 30

to find b, divide both sides of the equation by 10%

b = 30/0.1 = 300

we want find the total number of students in the school, which is equal to 100%
