In Mr. Peter's class, 75% of the students have a pet. There are 15 students with pets in the class. How many total students are in the class?

Respuesta :

Answer:

20 Students

Explanation:

Let the total number of students in the class = x

Number of students that have pets = 15

Percentage of students that have pets = 75%

Therefore:

[tex]75\%\text{ of x=15}[/tex]

We then solve for x.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{75}{100}\times x=15 \\ 0.75x=15 \\ x=\frac{15}{0.75} \\ x=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]

We have 20 students in total in the class.
