56 students is 70% of how many students?

i think it is 39.2?

no

why didn't you test your answer ?
Is .7 of 39.2 = 56 ????

try 56/.7 = 80

now what is .7(80) ?

To calculate the total number of students, you can use the formula:

Number of students = (56 students) / (0.70)

So, let's do the calculation:

Number of students = 56 / 0.70
Number of students ≈ 80

Therefore, 56 students is 70% of 80 students, not 39.2.
