Question

How many students are on the roll of a school, if 95 %of the students are present and 14 students are absent?

Answer 1

95 percent are present and 5 percent are absent. Let the total students be x
5 percent of x = 14
5/100 .x=14
1/20 . x=14
x= 14. 20
x= 280
No of students present = 280-14
= 266

Answer 2

Answer:

let the roll of a school be x

we have 95% of x is 14

95x. 14

------

100

xly both sides by 100

95x × 100 = 14 ×100

100

(both 100 get cancel)

95x=1400

x=1400

----------------

95

x=14.7

there fore 95% present in 14.7 is 14
