("X" being the total number in the band) 72=1/3X (Multiply both sides by 3) X=216 Members in the band
You don't tell the total number of students. To get a percentage you need to provide the total.
There can be no answer.4 students out of 17 is 24% and 5 students out of 17 is 29%. So 26% represents a number of students between 4 and 5. But you cannot have fractional students. Furthermore, whether it is 4 or 5, 85% is again a fractional number. Clearly, the numbers in the question are seriously flawed.
To find the total number of students, you can set up a proportion: 63 is 70% of x. This can be represented as 63 = 0.70x. To solve for x, divide both sides by 0.70, which gives you x = 63 / 0.70. Therefore, the total number of students is 90.
The number of students is discrete. There is no number of students between 4 and 5.
