Question

78 % of the class scored a C or above on their test. If there are 35 students in the class, how many scored a C or higher? Write and solve a proportion for this situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

27 students

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{78}{100} =\frac{x}{35}$

cross multiply and you get 27

Answer 2

All this question is trying to ask is to find 78% percent of the total number of student in the class.

So first convert 78 to decimal by dividing it by 100: $\frac{78}{100} = 0.78$

Next multiply that with the total number of students which is 35.

So, $0.78 * 35 = 27.3$

Now I don't think there can be a decimal here. The question must be wrong or the percentage might be incorrect. But, just for sake, we'll round it up so the final answer would be: $27$

The proportion would be: $273:10$
