10.) a college brochure claims that 24% of the students attending the college are majoring in business. if there are 420 students at the college who are majoring business, how many students are attending the college????

3. itsmylife Group Title

babe, its simple all you gotta do is (24*420)/100

4. itsmylife Group Title

$\frac{ 24 }{ 100 }*420$

5. austinL Group Title

$420 \div .24$

6. austinL Group Title

Stop the babe stuff too by the way, kinda demeaning.

7. itsmylife Group Title

another example is a% of b is $\frac{ a }{ 100}*b$

8. itsmylife Group Title

9. caitlynmcdaniel Group Title

10. austinL Group Title

11. caitlynmcdaniel Group Title

he is...

12. austinL Group Title

Lmao, ok. but yeah... one step. $420\div .24$

13. caitlynmcdaniel Group Title

you say 420/24 but its my life said 24 times 420/100 idk whose right???

14. austinL Group Title

No, .24

15. austinL Group Title

There is a decimal point there.

16. caitlynmcdaniel Group Title

yeah but that doesn't answer the question idk which one of u is right u both told me two different things

17. austinL Group Title

$x\times .24 = 420$ x = total number of students solve for x

18. itsmylife Group Title

if you cant sustain my words i dont care mr. austin ..and i call it this way and girls like it :D by the way babe, answer is , you gotta calculate $\frac{ 24 }{ 100 }*420$

19. itsmylife Group Title

10.) a college brochure claims that 24% of the students attending the college are majoring in business. if there are 420 students at the college who are majoring business, how many students are attending the college? There are 420 students MAJORING IN BUSINESS. That means that 420 is a portion of a larger student body. 420 is 24% of the rest of the main student body. So therefore, you have $mainstudentbody \times 24percent = 420$ 24% = .24 You need to solve for the total number of students attending the college. @itsmylife your method is incorrect. You are finding 24% of the 24%.

23. itsmylife Group Title

oh gotcha sorry for my mistake ....let me correct it

24. caitlynmcdaniel Group Title

thanks guys... next question

25. caitlynmcdaniel Group Title

then how do u solve it??? if u messed up @itsmylife????

26. itsmylife Group Title

let's say there are x students then it means 24% of the x is = to 420 $\frac{ 24 }{ 100}*x=420, x=\frac{ 420*100 }{ 24 }$ babe you can do it now ;)
