3. A student orchestra has 9 students who play the cello. This is 15% of the total number of students who play in the orchestra. How many students are in the orchestra?
a. Set up a mathematical statement to represent the situation.
b. Cross-multiply and solve.

Answer

  1. Mathematical Statement: Let x be the total number of students in the orchestra. The equation is:
    0.15x = 9

  2. Solution: Cross-multiply to solve for x:
    x = 9 / 0.15 = 60
    Therefore, there are 60 students in the orchestra.
