Answer: 280</h3>
Work Shown:
x = number of students in the 6th grade class
30% = 30/100 = 0.30
30% of x = 0.30x this is equal to 84 since "30% of the 6th graders are boys (and there are 84 boys in sixth grade)", so we say 0.30x = 84
Divide both sides by 0.30 to isolate x
0.30x = 84
0.30x/0.30 = 84/0.30
x = 280
So there are 280 students overall in the 6th grade class.
One pattern is 22, 18, 14, 10, 6, 2 hope this helps just keep subtracting 4. You can go from the highest number to the lowest. Thanks for asking!
15.49 and 15.48
any number below 15.50 and above 15.45 will round up to 15.5
