Ingrid Acosta · Answer 1

75% of the students like skating ... this means that 25% of the students do not like skating ... and 35 students do not like skating.

so 25% of the total students = 35

0.25x = 35

x = 35 / 0.25

x = 140 ... so there are 140 total students.

and 75% of the total students like skating ... so 75% of 140 ...

0.75 * 140 = 105 students like skating <==
