Explanation:
_______________________________________________
15% of x = 18 ; x = total number of students.
_______________________________
Solve for: "x" ; which is our answer.
____________________________________
15 % of x = (15/100) * x = (0.15)x ;
_______________________________
(0.15) x = 18 ;
Divide each side by: "(0.15)" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" , which is our answer:
_________________________________
(0.15)x / (0.15) = 18 /(0.15) ;
_____________________________
x = 120 ; They are 120 students in Mrs. Madison's math classes.

Answer:
120 students
Step-by-step explanation:
15% of x = 18
15 = 0.15 ( 15 as a decimal)
18/0.15 = 120 ( Divide 18 by 0.15)
For any other problem like this make the percent a decimal then divide the decimal by the number of whatever the number may be
