Question

8% of students in a school remained absent on a day . If 1633 attended the school on that day , how many remained absent ?

Answer 1

Hey...!,,

Let the number of student in the school be x
Number of Students attended school = 1633
% absent in the school = 8%
So, % present = 100% - 8%
= 92%

So,

92% of x = 1633

=> 92/100x = 1633
=> x = 1633 * 100/92
=> x = 1775

So, total number of students = 1775
Therefore, number of students absent
= 1775 - 1633
= 142

Hope it helps...!!!

Answer 2

Percentage of student who are absent=8℅
So,
The percentage of student who are present=100℅-8℅=92℅
And,
1633attended the school on that day.
Let the total number of student be x.

Acc. to the question:-
92℅ of x =1633
$\frac{92}{100}x = 1633$
$x = \frac{1633 \times 100}{92}$
x=1775
