Question

A dance school has 63 ballet dancers. If 42% of the total number of dancers in the school are ballet dancers, what is the total number of dancers in the school? Someone please help.

Answer 1

Answer:

Total no. of dancers = 150

Step by step

Let total no. of dancers= x

using percentage formula

% of ballet dancers=

(No. of ballet dancers)*100/ Total no. of dancers

42%=63*100/x

x=63*100/42

x=150
