A video of Mr. Satyam’s class discussing mathematical strategies won a STEM award. 8% of the videos won awards. There were 24 awards. What is the total number of videos?

Sagot :

Answer:

There were 300 videos.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 24 videos that got awards, and that's only 8% of the total videos, you put those together. We want the number of 100% of the videos. I would solve this by setting up a ratio and solving for [tex]x[/tex]. This is would look like:

[tex]\frac{24}{8} =\frac{x}{100}[/tex]  

In order to get to 100, you must multiply 8 by 12.5. Therefore, you can multiply 24 by 12.5 to complete the ratio. That would make the ratio look like:

[tex]\frac{24}{8} =\frac{300}{100}[/tex]

Therefore there are 100% of the videos in the contest is 300.
