1.) 300 students
To find this you have to multiply the total number of students, x, by .56, the percent of sudents taking a foreign language class, and then set it equal to the number of students taking the class, 168, and solve.
.56x = 168
Divide each side by .56
x = 3
Multiply this by 100
300 students.
2.) 3,744 licenses were expired
To find this multiply 23,400 by .16 to find out how many licences expired.
23400(.16)
3,744 licenses were expired
3.) 2,670 bricks
To find this you have to multiply 6230 by .7 to find the number of bricks total, then subtract 6230 from that number to find the number of bricks in the west wall.
(6230/.7)-6230
8900-6230
2670 bricks in the west wall.
