35% of the campers went on a hike after dinner. If 35 campers went on the hike, what is the total number of campers at the camp?
n= _
100 campers
To find the total number of campers at the camp, we can set up a proportion using the information given:
35 campers who went on the hike is 35% of the total number of campers at the camp.
35 campers / x total campers = 35% / 100%
35 / x = 35 / 100
Cross multiply:
35 * 100 = 35 * x
3500 = 35x
Divide by 35:
3500 / 35 = x
100 = x
Therefore, the total number of campers at the camp is 100.
