Question

32% of the teachers in a school are females and the number of male teachers is 85 Find the number of teachers in the school

Answer 1

percentage of female teachers=32%
no.of female teachers = 32/100x
no.of male teachers = 85
So,
32/100x + 85= x
x-(32/100)x =85
(100x-32x)/100=85
68x/100=85
68x=8500
x=8500/68
x=125

Answer 2

Let the total no. of teachers in the school be x
Given that 32% of x are females
So, 100% - 32%= 68% of x are males
Given that no. of male teachers is 85
So,68% of x=85
X = 85 × 100/68 = 125
(Ans) there are 125 teachers in the school
