Answer 1

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Total no. of students be x

Given: 20% of the students are below 8 years of age.

Then the no. of students above or equal the 8 years of age= 80% of x. (1)

Given: the no. of students of 8 years of age =48

No. of students above 8 years of age= 2/3 *48=32

80% of x = 48+32

80x/ 100= 80

x=100

Therefore, the total no. of students in the school is 100.
