Answer 1

Answer:

The number of students in Mr Reeds class = 25

Explanations:

% of students that wear glasses = 60%

Number of students that wear glasses = 15

$\begin{gathered} Number\text{ of students that wear glass= }\frac{\%\text{that wear glasses }}{100}\times Total\text{ students} \\ \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} 15\text{ = }\frac{60}{100}\times Total\text{ students} \\ 15\text{ = 0.6}\times\text{ Total students} \\ \text{Total students = }\frac{15}{0.6} \\ \text{Total students = }25 \end{gathered}$

The number of students in Mr Reeds class = 25
