To find the correct statements regarding the number of students at Park Junior High, we know that 10% of the students play a musical instrument, and that this represents 160 students.
To determine the total number of students in the school, we can use the percentage information:
Let \( x \) be the total number of students. Then, 10% of \( x \) equals 160:
\[ 0.10x = 160 \]
Solving for \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{160}{0.10} = 1600 \]
So, the total number of students is 1,600.
Now, let's evaluate the statements:
- There are 250 students in the school. - Incorrect (The total is 1,600)
- The percent as a part-to-whole ratio is 10 over 100. - Correct
- The total number of students is > 160. - Correct (It is 1,600)
- The total number of students is < 160. - Incorrect (It is 1,600)
- There are 1,600 students in the school. - Correct
- The percent as a part-to-whole ratio is 160 over 100. - Incorrect (It should be 10 over 100)
Thus, the correct statements are:
- The percent as a part-to-whole ratio is 10 over 100.
- The total number of students is > 160.
- There are 1,600 students in the school.
