Answer:

2900

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of students be x

then,

100-94=6

therefore. 6/100 * x = 174

x. = 100*174/6

x =. 2900

$\sf{\bold{\green{\underline{\underline{Solution}}}}}$

• Let the total students be 100%

⠀⠀

present = 94%

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Absent = total students - present

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Absent = 100 - 94

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Absent = 6%

⠀⠀⠀⠀

• let the total students be x

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$: \implies\: \sf{\bold{6\% of x = 174 }}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$: \implies\: \sf{\bold{\dfrac{6}{100}\times x = 174}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$: \implies\: \sf{\bold{x = \dfrac{174\times 100}{6}}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$: \implies\: \sf{\bold{x = 29\times 100}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀

$: \implies\: \sf{\bold{x = 2900}}$
