Question

In Mrs. Carter’s homeroom, 25% of the students are going to the dance. If 6 of Mrs. Carter’s students are going to the dance, how many students are in Mrs. Carter’s homeroom? A. 19 B. 24 C. 30 D. 31

Answer 1

6 students = 25%
x students = 100%

$\dfrac{25}{100} x = 6 \\ x = 6 \div \dfrac{25}{100} \\ x = 6 \times \dfrac{100}{25} \\ x = 24$


Answer is B. 24
