Question

The seventh-grade class needs to earn money for a trip to the amusement park. Of the 160 seventh-grade students, 60% participate in the fundraiser. How many students participate in the fundraiser?

Answer 1

We can use the formula: is/of = %/100.

% = 60

of = 160

`(x)/(160)=(60)/(100)`

100x = 9600

x = 96

96 students participated in the fundraiser.
