Show your work AND the answer a research showed that 45% of sixth graders have dogs for pets 35% have cats 10% have fish and 5% have birds and another 5% have reptiles If 30 sixth graders own birds, how many sixth graders were surveyed?

600 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the total number of sixth graders who were surveyed, 5% owned birds.

This 5% translated to 30 students.

30 students is therefore 5% of the total number of sixth graders surveyed.

Assume that number to be x:

x * 5% = 30

x = 30 / 5%

= 600 students

1.3

step-by-step explanation:

3x2=6   9x+6

bring down the 6 on both sides

6+6=12

12= 9x

divide by 9

12/9 =

1.3 =x
