Respuesta :

There are 70 people in the band.  This is  because 28 of 70 is 40%.


Let the total students in the band be = x

Number of students who play brass instrument = 28

This 28 is 40 percent of x

So, the number of students will be =

[tex]\frac{40x}{100}=28[/tex]

[tex]40x=2800[/tex]

[tex]x=70[/tex]

So total number of students in the band are 70.
