Sagot :

A.

Multiply the number of students (160) by the percentage that are in sixth grade (25%)

Express the percentage in decimal form = 25/100 = 0.25

160 x 0.25 = 40 students

B. Same process

28 x 0.25 = 7 students

C.

Multiply 0.25 by x

0.25x

D.

0.25x = 42

Solve for x

x =42/0.25

x= 168
