Question

Challenger Elementary School has 800 students. Every Wednesday, 12% of the students stay after school for Chess Club. How many students attend on Wednesday’s?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\text{96 students}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find how many students stay back for Chess Club, we want to find 12% of 800.

To do this, we can set up a percentage proportion.

$\frac{12}{100} = \frac{x}{800}$

We can now solve for x by cross multiplying.

$800 \cdot 12 = 9600\\9600 \div 100 = 96$

So, 96 students attend Chess Club on Wednesdays.

Hope this helped!

96 students attend chess club after school on Wednesday's.
