Jordan has 10 friends in the school band. The number of his friends who play the saxophone is shown in the grid. Use the grid to complete the statements and help Jordan find the percent of his band friends who play the saxophone.

Question

A bar diagram has 3 shaded squares and 7 unshaded squares.

The grid has
total squares.
Jordan needs
copies of the grid to have 100 total squares.
With that many copies of the grid, the 3 shaded squares will become
.
So,
of Jordan’s band friends play the saxophone.

Answer 1

Let's break this down step by step.

From the grid description you provided, it appears that there are a total of 10 squares (3 shaded and 7 unshaded). Here's the information we need to fill in:

1. Total squares: The grid has 10 total squares.
2. Copies of the grid needed to have 100 total squares: Since each grid has 10 squares, Jordan needs \( \frac{100}{10} = 10 \) copies of the grid.
3. With that many copies of the grid, the 3 shaded squares will become: Since there are 10 copies of the grid and 3 shaded squares in each grid, the total number of shaded squares will be \( 3 \times 10 = 30 \).
4. So, of Jordan’s band friends play the saxophone: There are 10 friends in total and 30 shaded squares represent those who play saxophone. Thus, the percent of Jordan's band friends who play the saxophone is \( \frac{30}{100} \times 100% = 30% \).

So here's the final summary in a structured format:

• The grid has 10 total squares.
• Jordan needs 10 copies of the grid to have 100 total squares.
• With that many copies of the grid, the 3 shaded squares will become 30.
• So, 30% of Jordan’s band friends play the saxophone.
