80% of the students at a college are from in-state. If 4,800 students are from in-state, how many students attend the college?

I got 3,840. but I don't think that's right

Of course it's not right!!

The total number of students is more than the in state students.

0.8x = 4800
So would I take 0.8x divided by 4800?
No. 4800 divided by 0.8

4800/0.8
I got 6,000
6,000 is right!!
YAY! I got a few more problems to ask on here still! thank you!!!!
