Question

2/5 of total number of students of a school come by car while 1/4 of students come by bus to school. All the other students walk to school of which 1/3 walk on their own and the rest are escorted by their parents. If 224 students come to school walking on their own, what is the total number of students in the school, how many come by car, how many come by bus and how many are escorted by their parents.​

Answer 1

Let the total no. of students be x

number of students who come by car = 2x/5

number of students who come by bus = x/4

number of students who come by walk = x - (2x/5 + x/4) = x - 13x/20 = 7x/20

number of students who come by walk on their own = (7x/20)/3 = 224

7x/60 = 224

x = 224×60÷7 = 1920

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of total students be X

thus,

students coming by car =2X/5

students coming by bus =X/4

students coming by walking on their own = X/3

Now,

X/3=224

=>X=224×3=672

so total number of students=672

students coming by car = 2X/5 = 2×672/5 = 268

students coming by bus = X/4 = 672/4= 168

students escorted by parents=
