In Mr. Carlyles class, 32% of the students rode the bus to school. A total 8 students rode to the bus. How many students are in Mr. Carlyles
To find the total number of students in Mr. Carlyle's class, we can use the fact that 32% of the students rode the bus to school. We know that 8 students rode the bus, which represents 32% of the total number of students.
Let's represent the total number of students in Mr. Carlyle's class as "x." We can set up a proportion to solve for x:
8 students / x students = 32% / 100%
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and solve the resulting equation:
8 * 100% = x * 32%
Since 100% is equivalent to 1, the equation simplifies to:
8 = x * 0.32
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.32:
8 / 0.32 = x
Simplifying the fraction, we find that:
x ≈ 25
Therefore, there are approximately 25 students in Mr. Carlyle's class.
