Question

At Clay High School, 434 students (or 35% of the students) play a sport. How many students does Clay High School have? Remember to enter a numerical answer, but do NOT use commas.

Answer 1

If 434 is 35% what do you think 1% is?

Answer 2

So 1% is \[1\% ={ 434 \over 35} \]

Answer 3

To get to 100% we simply multiply by 100!\[100\% = {434\over 35} \times 100\]
