Question

In the 7th grade, 150 of the students are attending the dance. If this is 62.5% of the entire grade, how many 7th graders are there?

Answer 1

244 students.

Explanation:

Okay, so. We know 150 people of the 7th grade is coming and 62.5% is the entire of the 7th graders coming. We would multiply.

150 * 62.5% = 93.75

We would round it up. It is over 5, so it would be 94 students. Then we would add

150 + 94 = 244

There are 244 students in 7th grade.
