Question

At a school, 40% of the sixth-grade students said that hip-hop is their favorite kind of music. If 100 sixth-grade students prefer hip hop music, how many sixth-grade students are at the school? Do not include units (students) in your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

We have 250 sixth-grade students are at the school

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of sixth graders be represented as x

Therefore we solve the question nas shown below:

40% of x = 100 sixth grade students that prefer Hip -pop

= 40/100 × x = 100

= 40x /100 = 1000

Cross y

40x = 100 × 100

40x = 10000

x = 10000/40

x = 250 students

Hence, we have 250 sixth-grade students are at the school
