51 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Do cross - multiplication

6 * 850 = 5,100. Take 5,100 and divide that by 100 = 51

Padilla · Answer 2

51 accepted

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, if 6 are accepted out of 100, that's 6% or 0.06. To find how many are accepted out of 850, multiply 850 by 0.06.
