Given:
36% of all students enjoy taking morning classes.
The number of students who like morning classes is 87 students.
Required:
We need to find the total number of students.
Explanation:
Let x be the total number of students.
[tex]36\text{ \% of x =87}[/tex][tex]\frac{36}{100}\times x=87[/tex]Multiply both sides of the equation by 100/36.
[tex]\frac{36}{100}\times x\times\frac{100}{36}=87\times\frac{100}{36}[/tex][tex]x=87\times\frac{100}{36}[/tex][tex]x=241.67[/tex][tex]x\approx242[/tex]Final answer:
242 students were surveyed.
