The experimental treatment caused side effects in 35% of those who had it. If 910 experienced side effects, how many people had the experimental treatment?
I need help on how to do this problem.
Thanks

if 35% of an x amount of ppl is 910 your equation would read:
.35x=910 (35% written as a decimel is .35), (of always means multiply)
910/.35=2600
2600 ppl experienced the treatment

You take 910 divided by 0.35(which is 35%). This will give you a group of 2600 who participated. You can check this by taking 2600 times 35%(0.35) and getting 910.

1. 35%- change that to a decimal- 0.35.
2. 910 / 0.35= 2600
3. 2600 had the experiemental treatment. :)
