there are 64 seventh graders at a middle school. This is 32% of the students at the school. The sixth graders comprise 38% of the school how many sixth graders attend
the middle school
0.32x = 64
x = 64/0.32
x = 200 students in the school
0.38 * 200 = ________ sixth graders
To find the number of sixth graders at the middle school, we need to determine the total number of students at the school.
We are given that the seventh graders make up 32% of the total students. Let's say "x" represents the total number of students.
So, 32% of "x" is equal to the number of seventh graders: 0.32x = 64.
To find "x," we divide both sides of the equation by 0.32: x = 64 / 0.32.
Simplifying the right side of the equation, we get x = 200 students.
Now that we know that there are 200 students in total, we can move on to finding the number of sixth graders.
The sixth graders comprise 38% of the total students, which is also 0.38x.
So, 0.38 * 200 students = 76 sixth graders.
Thus, there are 76 sixth graders attending the middle school.
