Answer 2

The total number of students in the class is 600.

Given,

97% of the students are present in the class and 18 students are absent.

To Find,

The total number of students in the class.

Solution,

Let us assume that the total number of students in the class is x.

Since 97% of students are present

So, 3% of students are absent

Therefore,

Number of absent students = 3% of x = 18

3/100*x = 18

x = 18*100/3

x = 600

Hence, the total number of students in the class is 600.
