a group of students went to the movie theater eighteen of the students bought popcorn the other 60% of the students bought candy how many students were in the group

45 total students

Step-by-step explanation:

18 of the students bought popcorn ... the other 60% bought candy

that means that the 18 students that bough popcorn make up 40% of the class

so 40% of the total class = 18

0.40x = 18

x = 18 / 0.40

x = 45 <== = there were a total of 45 students
