Question

A school has 800 students. Every Wednesday, 12 percent of the students stay after school fo Chess Club. How many students attend Chess Club?

Answer 1

For this we just want to set it to a proportion so I hope this helps!


`(x)/(800) = (12)/(100)`

From there, cross multiply, therefore 800 by 12 and 100 by x.


`9600 = 100x`


`Divide\;both\;sides\;by\;100\ \textgreater \ (9600)/(100) = (100x)/(100) \ \textgreater \ 96`

Therefore 96 students attended the Chess Club.

Hope this helps!
