There are 12 students in a class who are performing at the school concert. this represents 40%of the class. how many students are in the class ?

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Students performing in the school concert=40%

let the students in the class be x

hence 40% of the class=12

where 40%=40/100=4/10=2/5 and of means multiplication

(2/5)*x=12

multiplying both sides by 5/2

hence the equation becomes

x=12*5/2

x=60/2

x=30

so the total students in the class are 30
