While walking outside on a field trip 75%, or 27, of the students in the class wore jackets. Find the number of students in the entire class.

Answer 1

Let's represent the number of students in the entire class as 'x'.
According to the problem, 75% of the students, or 0.75x, wore jackets.
We know that 0.75x = 27.
To find 'x', we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.75: x = 27 / 0.75 = <<27/0.75=36>>36.
Therefore, there are 36 students in the entire class. Answer: \boxed{36}.
