Answer: 1,300 students went on the trip
Step-by-step explanation: So we know that 65% filled the seats so let's turn that into a fraction. [tex]\frac{65}{100}[/tex] . Now we know that there are 2,000 seats in total so let's put that into a fraction. [tex]\frac{x}{2,000}[/tex] The x represents the students that went on the trip.
[tex]\frac{65}{100} = \frac{x}{2,000}[/tex] we have to cross multiply
65(2,000) = 100 (x)
130,000 = 100 (x)
130,000 ÷ 100
1,300 = x So now we know that 1,300 went to the trip students
