At Westside Middle School, 10 percent, or 140 students, participate in soccer. How many students are in the school? Check all that apply. The total number of students is greater than 140. The total number of students is less than 140. (10)(14) = 140, so 100(14) = 1,400 students. 140 + 10 = 150, so 150 + 140 = 290 students. There are 140 + 10 = 150 students at Westside Middle School. The percent as a part to whole ratio is StartFraction 140 Over 100 EndFraction The percent as a part to whole ratio is StartFraction 10 Over 100 EndFraction

Answer 1

Answer: There are 1,400 students in the school. Checked options are bolded.

Explanation:

How many students in the school?

• 
  `(1)/(10) = (140)/(x)` (10% of the school population is equal to 140 over unknown)

• 
  `x = 1,400` (unknown equals 1,400)

Check all that apply:

• The total number of students is greater than 140.
• The total number of students is less than 140.
• (10)(14) = 140, so 100(14) = 1,400 students.
• 140 + 10 = 150, so 150 + 140 = 290 students.
• There are 140 + 10 = 150 students at Westside Middle School.
• The percent as a part to whole ratio is StartFraction 140 Over 100 EndFraction
• The percent as a part to whole ratio is StartFraction 10 Over 100 EndFraction
