At Westside Middle School, 10 percent, or 140 students, participate in soccer. How many students are in the school?

Sagot :

There are 1,400 kids in the school.

Answer:

1,400 students

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question above, 10% of total students in a school is 140.

To find the total number of students in the school, we compare the 10% with 100%

we have,

10% = 140

100% = x

i.e let total number of students be x

Cross multiplying the 1 and 2, we have

10 X x = 100 x 140

10x = 14,000

dividing both sides by 10, we have

10x = 14,000

10           10

x = 1,400

Total number of students in the school is 1,400.
