If 30percent of the students in your class like basketball, how many students are in your class if 6 students like basketball?

0.3x = 6

x = 6/0.3

x = 20

Using a ratio:

30/100 = 6 / x

30x = 600

x = 20

x=20

To determine the total number of students in your class, considering that 30% of the students like basketball and that there are 6 students who like basketball, you can use a proportion to solve for the unknown quantity.

Let's assign a variable for the total number of students in the class. Let's say the total number of students is represented by "x".

Now, we can set up the proportion:

(30/100) = 6/x

To solve the proportion, first, we can cross-multiply:

30x = 6 * 100

Next, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 30:

x = (6 * 100) / 30

Simplifying the equation:

x = 600 / 30

Now, divide 600 by 30:

x = 20

Therefore, there are 20 students in your class if 30% of them liking basketball means 6 students like basketball.

6÷30=

60÷30=
x=20

I have no idea.
