Gonzales
A6
B) 14
C24
D 57

C) 24

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that 18 students is 75% of the class and we need to know 100% of the class. to calculate this, divide the 18 students by 75% to work out what 1% of the students equals:

18 ÷ 75 = 0.24

0.24 students = 1% of the class. multiply this number by 100 to calculate 100% of the class:

0.24 x 100 = 24

∴ there are 24 students in Ms. Perron's class

I hope this was helpful :-)
