Question

In the college class, there were 15 students that came to the review class before the test. This was 30% of the students in class. How many students were in the class, altogether?

Answer 1

30 students

Explanation:

The 15 students that came were 30% of the class:

30% = 15 students

To find 100%, we can first find 10% by dividing both sides by 3

10% = 3 students

(30% ÷ 3 = 10%, 15 ÷ 3 = 5)

Then, multiply both sides by 10 to get 100%

100% = 30 students

(10% × 10 = 100, 3 × 10 = 30)
