Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the total number of students already helping

There are 6 classes, and each class has 5 students helping. The total number of students already helping is: \[ 6 \times 5 = 30 \]

Step 2: Determine the number of additional students needed

The camp needs a total of 100 students. Subtract the number of students already helping from the total required: \[ 100 - 30 = 70 \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{70} \]
