Answer :
There are 136 students in the eighth grade class, if there are 24 more students in the seventh grade class than the number G in the eighth grade class.
- Let the students in the seventh grade class be S.
- Let the students in the eighth grade class be G.
Given the following data:
- S = 160 students
To find the number of students in the eighth grade class:
Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;
[tex]S = G + 24[/tex]
Substituting the value of S, we have:
[tex]160 = G + 24\\\\G = 160 - 24[/tex]
G = 136 students.
Therefore, there are 136 students in the eighth grade class.
