Answer 1

Answer:

1250

Step-by-step explanation:

since 2% of the school is 25 students that means every 2% there is 25 students.

100/2 = 50

50*25 = 1250 students

Answer 2

Answer:

1250 = total students

Step-by-step explanation:

Students in the play = total students * percent in play

We know that the students in the play =25

We know the percent in the play is .02

Substitute what we know into the equation

25 = total students * .02

Divide each side by .02

25/.02 = total students *.02/.02

1250 = total students
