Question

There are 70 students in the school band. 40% of them are sixth graders, 20% are seventh graders, and the rest are eighth graders. How many band members are sixth graders? How many band members are seventh graders? What percentage of the band members are eighth graders?

Answer 1

Sixth graders: 14

Seventh graders: 28

Eighth graders: 28

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you just have to use a rule of three to solve the percentages, remember that the 100% will be the 70 students, and we solve each case separetly:

70 students= 100%

sixth grades= 40%

Sixth grades= (40*70)/100

Sixth graders= 28

70 students= 100%

seventh grades= 20%

seventh graders= (20*70)/100

Seventh graders=14

So if we have that the rest of the students are eighth graders, we just add up the sixth and seventh graders and withdraw them from the total:

28+14=42

70-42=28

SOwe have that the eighth graders are 28
