There's not enough info. Do you know the number of students at the school?

calculusxy · Answer

Yes there was a related problem. I believe it was 44.

nikato · Answer

Ok. So it's 11/44. Change 11/44 into a percent

nikato · Answer

Because they are 44 people in all and you know 11 of the 44 people ride for over 45 minutes

And I wanna make sure if 44 is correct or not. So here's the problem:
At Angela's school,  55% of the 80 sixth grade students take the school bus to school everyday. HOW many sixth grade students take the school bus every day?

nikato · Answer

Yes, 44 is correct

0.55(80)=44
