Six 9th grade students attend acting classes. They make up 24 percent of the class as a whole.
A further 16% of the 9th grade students attend dance class.
The rest of the students do not participate in any extracurricular classes.
How many students attend the dance class?
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: We know that 6 students are 24% of the class. We use the formula for determining the whole number from a percentage:
So, the total number of 9th grade students is 25.
Step 2: Now that we have the total number of students, we can find how many attend the dance class (16% of 25):
Thus, the number of students attending the dance class is 4 students.
4 students
