Question

At a school, 60% of the sixth-grade students said that hip-hop is their favorite kind of music. If 210 sixth-grade students prefer hip hop music, how many sixth-grade students are at the school?

Answer 1

350 6th grade students

Explanation:

From the question

At a school, 60% of the sixth-grade students said that hip-hop is their favorite kind of music.

Total number of sixth graders that love hip-hop = 210

Let the total number of students in the school be represented as: x

Hence,

60% × x = 210

60/100 × x = 210

Cross Multiply

60x = 210 × 100

x = 210× 100/60

x = 350 students.

Therefore, the total number of sixth graders is 350 .
