Question

Indian mixed School 20% of The Scholars are infants under 8 and the number of Scholars above 8 is 2 / 3 of the number of Scholars of 8 and amounts to 48 find out the number of scholars in the school?

Answer 1

Answer:

360 scholars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take the number of scholars under 8 as 'y'

Number of scholars above 8= 48

Number of scholars above 8= 2/3 of y

Equating, 2/3 × y=48

y= 48 ÷ 2/3

 = 48 × 3/2= 72

Number of scholars under 8= 72

Let the number of total scholars be 'x'

20% of x= 72

20/100 × x= 72

x= 72 ÷ 20/100

 = 72  × 100/20

 = 360

Therefore number of scholars= 360 scholars
