Question

In a school,1/25 of the students were absent on a certain day.If 720 students were present on that day,what is the total number of students in the school?​

Answer 1

if 1 / 25 were absent, then 24/ 25 were present.

let the total number of students be x

so 24x / 25 students were present.

so,

24x /25 = 720

24 x = 25 × 720

x = 25 × 720 / 24

x = 750 students
