Question

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

day, how many remained absent?

Answer 1

142 students were absent on that day

Answer 2

Answer:

142

Explanation:

Absent = 8%

Present = 100-8= 92%

Let the number be x :

92% of x = 1633

92/100 * x = 1633

x= 100 x 1633/92

x= 1775

To find absentees :

8% of x

8/100 x 1775

142

Ans = 142 students were absent on that day.
