Question

There are 25 students acting in a high school play. They make up 2% of the high school students. Hoy many students attend at the high school play

Answer 1

1250

Explanation:

since 2% of the school is 25 students that means every 2% there is 25 students.

100/2 = 50

50*25 = 1250 students

Answer 2

1250 = total students

Explanation:

Students in the play = total students * percent in play

We know that the students in the play =25

We know the percent in the play is .02

Substitute what we know into the equation

25 = total students * .02

Divide each side by .02

25/.02 = total students *.02/.02

1250 = total students
