Question

Twelve of the students in the school choir like to sing solos. These 12 students make up 24% of the choir. How many students are in the choir?

Answer 1

The answer is 50 students

Explanation:

Answer 2

If 12 students make up 24% of the population, 1 student is 2% of the population because 24/12=2
100/2%=50
I did this because the population would be 2% times # of students= 100%
divide 100 by 50 to get 2 percent or 100/ 2 percent to get 50 students
