can u help me with another problem please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

63 students is 90% of how many students?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

90/100=63/x solve for x by cross multiplying so 90x=6300 and then divide 90x by 90 to get x by itself and since you did that, what you do to one side you must do to the other so divide 6300 by 90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. so that answer is 70

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes:)
