The number of students receiving an a on the test was equal to 15% of the total number of students. What would the equation be?

I have started it off : s=

0.15s = a

thanks

You are welcome.

To find the equation, we'll need to define a variable for the total number of students. Let's use the variable "t" to represent the total number of students.

From the given information, we know that the number of students receiving an A on the test is equal to 15% of the total number of students. To write this mathematically, we can use the equation:

Number of students receiving an A = 15% of the total number of students

Using the variable "s" to represent the number of students receiving an A, we can rewrite the equation as:

s = 0.15t

Hence, the equation is s = 0.15t.
