Answer:
The total number of students in the gymnastics are 70.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Fifty-six students in a gymnastics club participated in the last fundraiser.
In the gymnastics club 80% of the students in the club participated in the fundraiser.
Now, to find the total number of students in the gymnastics.
Let the total number of students be [tex]x.[/tex]
Number of students participated in the club = 56.
Percent of students participated in the club = 80%.
According to question:
[tex]80\%\ of\ x=56[/tex]
[tex]\frac{80}{100} \times x=56[/tex]
[tex]0.8\times x=56[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 0.8 we get:
[tex]x=70.[/tex]
Therefore, the total number of students in the gymnastics are 70.
