Question

$4\%$ of the students at Excellent Elementary are vegetarians. If there are $1200$ non-vegetarians, how many students go to Excellent Elementary?

Answer 1

Answer:

1250 students go to Excellent Elementary.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 4% of the students at Excellent Elementary are vegetarians, you can subtract 4% from 100% to find the percentage of students that are non-vegetarians:

100%-4%=96%

Now, since you know that 96% of the students are non-vegetarians and that they are 1200, you can use a rule of three to find the amount that represents 100% which would be the total amount of students that go to Excellent Elementary:

96%    →    1200

100%   →       x

x=(100*1200)/96

x=1250

According to this, the answer is that 1250 students go to Excellent Elementary.
