A class conducts a survey of 1000 students. Of the sixth-grade students surveyed, 12% bring their lunches to school. Suppose 24 sixth-graders do this. How many sixth-graders are at the school?

can u help meee

You did not even say the answer you doof bag! :( Anyways, the answer is 200.

To find out how many sixth-graders are at the school, we can use the information given or apply some basic math calculations.

First, we know that 12% of the surveyed sixth-grade students bring their lunches to school, and this percentage is equivalent to 24 students.

To find the total number of sixth-grade students, we can use the concept of proportions. We set up a proportion where the part (24 students) is to the whole (total sixth-grade students) as a percentage (12%) is to 100%.

Let x represent the total number of sixth-grade students:

24 / x = 12 / 100

To solve this proportion, we can cross-multiply and then solve for x:

24 * 100 = 12 * x

2400 = 12x

By dividing both sides of the equation by 12, we find:

x = 2400 / 12
x = 200

Therefore, there are 200 sixth-grade students at the school.

0.12x = 24

x = 24/0.12
x = ?
