Question

In Mrs. Carter’s homeroom, 25% of the students are going to the dance. If 6 of Mrs. Carter’s students are going to the dance, how many students are in Mrs. Carter’s homeroom? A. 19 B. 24 C. 30 D. 31

Answer 1

B) 24
If 6 of the class in 25% then you just times it by 4 to get 24

Answer 2

6 students = 25%
x students = 100%


`(25)/(100) x = 6 \\ x = 6 / (25)/(100) \\ x = 6 * (100)/(25) \\ x = 24`


Answer is B. 24
