Question

Seventy-five 6th- grade students chose to watch a movie on the last day of school. This is 25% of the 6th-grade class. How many total students are in the 6th grade?

Answer 1

Let's start by setting up a proportion with the information given.

25% = 75/x

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

0.25x = 75

Then, we can divide both sides by 0.25:

x = 300

Therefore, there are 300 6th-grade students in total.
