18 children in the class have brown eyes-that is 60% of the class with brown eyes.how many children are there in total in the class?
78
If there are x children, then
.6x = 18
x = 30
78? 1? You just throwing darts at numbers? If not, show you r work, so we can help you get it right.
18/60*100=30
To make sure the answer is correct you can check if it answer is right by
18/30*100%= 60%
To find the total number of children in the class, we can use the concept of percentages.
We know that 60% of the class has brown eyes, which is equivalent to 18 children.
Let's solve the equation:
60% of the class = 18 children
To find the total number of children in the class, we can set up the equation:
0.6 * x = 18
Here, 'x' represents the total number of children in the class.
To solve for 'x', we divide both sides of the equation by 0.6:
x = 18 / 0.6
x = 30
Therefore, there are a total of 30 children in the class.
