You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If the ratio of key to student council is 7 to 9,
\n" ); document.write( "then the ratio of key to total is 7 to 16 and
\n" ); document.write( "the ratio of student council to total is 9 to 16.
\n" ); document.write( "If the total is 353, then the ratio equation would be,,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7%2F16=X%2F353\"$
\n" ); document.write( "where X is the total number of key members in your total.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%28353%2A7%29%2F16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=154.4375\"$
\n" ); document.write( "We round that value down to 154 since we can only have integer values.
\n" ); document.write( "X=154 \n" ); document.write( "
