Do it the same way I just showed you in your previous posted problem
If a school has 12% of students who speak Spanish 36 students how many students were surveyed
To find out how many students were surveyed based on the given information, we can use a simple proportion calculation.
Let's assume "x" represents the total number of students surveyed. According to the survey, 12% of the students speak Spanish, which translates to 0.12 as a decimal.
Now, we can set up the proportion: the number of Spanish-speaking students (36) divided by the total number of surveyed students (x) is equal to the percentage (0.12):
36 / x = 0.12
To solve for "x," we can cross-multiply and then solve for "x." We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by "x":
36 = 0.12 * x
To isolate "x," we divide both sides of the equation by 0.12:
x = 36 / 0.12
Now, we can calculate the value of "x" by performing the division:
x ≈ 300
Therefore, approximately 300 students were surveyed at Rockwood Junior High School.
