Answer 1

To find the number of students in the entire class, we can set up a proportion:

27 (students wearing jackets) / s (total number of students) = 75% (expressed as a decimal)

To solve for s, we can cross-multiply and then divide:

27s = 0.75s

Divide both sides by 0.75:

s = 27 / 0.75

s = 36

Therefore, the number of students in the entire class is 36.
