Brian · Answer 1

There are 30 students. (: Becuase since 6 students make up 20% of the class. you just multiply 5 by 6 and get 30.

Valerie Aguilar · Answer 2

Use the cross multiplication

6/x=20/100 to find x you have to multiply 6 and 100 then divide the answer by 20 so it would be 6*100/20=30

Mrs. Rodriguez has 30 students
