Answer:
200 students in total
Step-by-step explanation:
Mr.Cruz is the director of an after-school program. He says that 170 students, or 85% of the students in his program, went on to attend college. A parent wants to know the total number of students in the program.
?/T = 85%
Where T = Total
85% = 170 students
Set-up the dimensions like this!
part/whole = part/whole
170/T = 85%/100
Multiply 170 by 100
170 • 100 = 17000
Then divided by 85
17000 divided by 85 = 200
