the meeting had 30 people,which is five-sixths of the club how many people are in the club ?

Question

it was a meeting

Answer 1

First step is assigning variables.  Let's assign P as the number of people in the club.  Then looking at the information given, we have:

 

5/6 * P = 30

 

If we divide each side by 5/6, which is the same as multiplying by 6/5, we get:

 

P = 6/5 * 30 = 36
