8) While eating in the cafeteria at school, 65%, or 26, of the students in the class ate pizza. find the number of students in the entire class.

My guess is 17 students??

PlZ Help!

Same goes for you ^^^^^

i love how people are unironically going around jiskha telling kids to do their own work, and genuinely think kids will be like "omg guys "spogbobfan122" says we should do our schoolwork i guess we should do our schoolwork"

So the answer 40

Well at least he's using polite manners.

"PLEASE JUST DO YOUR WORK"

lol

Thx Reiny I was having a problem you showed me how to find the problem not just the answer!

Omg Reiny thank you you're a lifesaver :D

Its 26 students

65% of 40 is 26

Do you understand now?

Why are you guessing?

This is Math.

btw, you "guessed" incorrectly, you took 65% of 26

the 26 represents the 65% of the total students who happen to eat pizza.

let the number of students be x
65% of x = 26
.65x = 26
x = 26/.65 = 40

check: what is 65% of 40 ?

lol you got rekt cuz you were guessing in math! lol
