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 = ?
