Answer 1

Answer:

There were 84 students in 6th grade, 68 in 7th grade, and 90 in 8th grade.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Elk middle school has 264 students, and there are 84 students in the eighth grade, and there are 22 fewer seventh-grade students than sixth-grade students, to determine how many students there are in each grade, the following calculation must be performed:

(264 - 84) / 2) - 22 = X

(180/2) - 22 = X

90 - 22 = X

68 = X

6th grade = 84

7th grade = 68

8th grade = 90

Therefore, there were 84 students in 6th grade, 68 in 7th grade, and 90 in 8th grade.
