Question

27% of the students in a school are in grade 6. This is 540 students. How many students are in the school?

Answer 1

There are a total of 2,000 students in the school.

1.) There are 540 students in the 6th grade. 540 is only 27% of students compared to the total. To find the total students in the whole school, we divide 540 by 27%.

2.) We first change 27% into a decimal by moving the point two times to the left. (Rule to change the percent into a decimal)

27% = .27

3.) Before we divide, we remove the decimal by moving the decimal two times to the right and so do we to 540.

.27 = 27

540. = 54000.

4.) Now we have 54000 divided by 27 which give us the answer of 2,000.
