Answer:
116 students
Step-by-step explanation:
70 is 60% of a whole. In order to find the whole we must divide.
turn 60% to a decimal (move the decimal two spaces to the left: 0.6) then divide 70/0.6 and that equals 116.6, but obviously we can't split up a person so we have to round down to the nearest whole which is 116.
so, 70 is 60% of the whole 116.
to check your answer, you can do 116*0.6 which equals 70.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
116
Step-by-step explanation:
70 students = 60%
60% divided by 3 = 20%
70 students divided by 3 = 23.333
(skip this part) 20% x 5 = 100
23.333 x 5 = 116.666 = 116 students
Really weird explanation but it works :)
ALSO: turn 60% into a decimal by moving the period two spaces to the left = .6
Divide 70/.6 = 116.6 = 116 students
