Sixty percent, or 12, of the students in Alex's class are going to the movies. 2/3, or 14, of the students in Mary's class are going to the movies. Which class has more students? Justify your answer using equations.

Mary's class.

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to do this is to figure out how many students are in Alex's class and how many students are in Mary's class.

60% of Alex's class is 12 students

 = = 20 students

or 66.66% (repeating) of Mary's class is 14 students

= = 21 students

(^^66.66 repeating)

Mary's class has more students than Alex's class.

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3
