Question

7. The strength of students in a school increased by 8%. If the actual increase in the number of
students is 160, find the original strength of the school. Also, find the new strength.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original strength of the school be X

Therefore the increased strength=8/100× X = 8X/100

But the increased strength=160..........(given)

Therefore 8X/100=160

8X=16000

X=2000

Therefore original strength of school is 2000.
