Of all the students enrolled at Anderson high school, 9% are in the band. The band has 180 members. How many students are enrolled at Anderson?

Respuesta :

s0.09=180

S is the total amount of students multiplied by 0.09, which is 9% in decimal form (9/100). 180 is the number of band members.

Now, we just need to solve:
s0.09=180
-------   -----
0.09     0.09
s=2000

2000 students are enrolled at Anderson high.

Check:
2000(0.09)
=180
