Question

On a certain day, 12% students were absent in class 7. If 44 students were present in the class, how many students were absent?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let's say total number of students were x.

then no. of students absent = x-4

(because 44 students were present)

also,

12% of x = no. of absent students

now we equate them.

so 12%(x) = 12/100*x ------> (i)

and x-4 -----> (ii)

therefore

x-4 = 12/100*x
