There are 180 students in the seventh grade, and 20% are in the Environmental Club. How many students are in the Environmental Club?

1 answer

To find the number of students in the Environmental Club, we can calculate 20% of the total number of students in the seventh grade, which is 180.

First, we convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100:

\[ 20% = \frac{20}{100} = 0.20 \]

Next, we multiply this decimal by the total number of students:

\[ \text{Number of students in the Environmental Club} = 0.20 \times 180 \]

Calculating this:

\[ 0.20 \times 180 = 36 \]

Therefore, the number of students in the Environmental Club is \(\boxed{36}\).
