Use the circle graph shown below to answer the question.

If 30 sixth graders own birds, how many sixth graders were surveyed?

600 sixth-graders were surveyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Assume x is the total number of sixth-graders that were surveyed. According to the given circle graph, 5% of the sixth-graders that were surveyed have birds as their pets. If x is the total number of sixth-graders surveyed then 5% of x equals 30. So

5% of x = 30.

5% equals = 0.05, so 5% = 0.05.

Step 2; If 0.05 x = 30, we can solve by keeping the unknown value on one side and keeping all the known values on one side.

x = = 600.

So 600 sixth-graders were surveyed.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this

12 cups   is the answer
