on a particular day 6 students in a class were absent which is 20% of the class what is the total number of students in the class

To find the total number of students in the class, we can use the information that 6 students represent 20% of the total number of students.

Let the total number of students be \( x \). Since 6 students were absent, and this is 20% of the total:

\[
6 = 0.2x
\]

Now, solve for \( x \):

\[
x = \frac{6}{0.2} = 30
\]

So, the total number of students in the class is 30.
