Question

a ski club planned a trip to su valley, and 38 of the members signed up. if 80% of the members did not sign up, how many members did the club have

Answer 1

118 members

Answer 2

how did you get that answer

Answer 3

It looks as though Ariana is wrong.

0.2x = 38

x = 38 / 0.2

x = 190 members

Answer 4

why would u multiply .2 instead of .8

Answer 5

I divided by 0.2 because that's the percent that signed up. We only know how many that did sign up. 80% did not sign up.

20% of the members is 38. We need to know what 20% of an unknown number equals 38.

Answer 6

Thank you!

Answer 7
