You can put this solution on YOUR website! Less than half the students missed the chemistry demonstration.
In fact only 3/10 of the students missed the demonstration.
---
7/10 of the students did not miss the demonstration.
-------------------
If 21 students did not miss the demonstration, how many students did miss the demonstration?
---
Let "x" be the number of students:
Equation:
(7/10)x = 21
(1/10)x = 3
x = 30 students did not miss the demonstration
---
# who missed the demonstration = (3/10)*30 = 9
