Respuesta :

Answer:

There are 40 students in the photography club.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Percent of people not going to art show = 15%

Number of people not going to art show = 6

Let,

x be the number of students in the photography club

15% of x = 6

[tex]\frac{15}{100}x=6[/tex]

0.15x = 6

Dividing both sides by 0.15

[tex]\frac{0.15x}{0.15}=\frac{6}{0.15}\\x= 40[/tex]

Hence,

There are 40 students in the photography club.
