Given
There are 240 students in Misty's school. This is 5 percent of the total students in the school district.
Find out the total number of students are in the school district.
To proof
Let us assume that their are 100 % student are studying in the school district.
As given in the question 5% of the the total students in the school district.
240 students in Misty's school this is 5% of the the total students in the school district.
5% of the the total students in the school district = 240
For 100 % of the the students in the school district
equation becomes
[tex]Total\ student\ in\ the\ school\ district = \frac{240}{5}\times100[/tex]
Solve this
[tex]Total\ student\ in\ the\ school\ district = \frac{24000}{5}[/tex]
Therefore
Total students are in the school district = 4800
Hence proved
