There are 250 sixth grade students at the school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Percent of sixth graders who like hip hop = 40%

Number of sixth graders who like hip hop = 100

Let,

x represent the total number of sixth graders at school.

Therefore;

40% of x = 100

[tex]\frac{40}{100}*x=100\\0.40x=100[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 0.40

[tex]\frac{0.40x}{0.40}=\frac{100}{0.40}\\x=250[/tex]

There are 250 sixth grade students at the school.
