Friday night's hockey game was attended by 180 students. This is about 60% of the school's population. What is the total population of the school.

Respuesta :

180/60 = the number of student for 1%
180/60 = 3
so 1% of the school's population is 3 students

so, 3 x 100 = 300 students

and to check:

300 x .60 = 180

so, the total population of the school is 300
I got 252. I multiplied 180 by .4 and added 180 again and got 252
