Question

on a certain day 2% of the total students of a school was absent among students 70% are boys which is 496 more than the numbers of girls. find the total number of student of that school

Answer 1

first devide 2/100and 70/100and multiply 496

Answer 2

Let total number of students=1000

2% absent

Then students =980 (number of present students)

70% of 980 is boys

70% of 980

=980x70/100=686

Rest are girls

Girls =980-686=294


Number of boys more then girls =686-294

=392


But according to Given question it is 496


One unit assumed =496/392

=1.265

Number of students =1000x1.265


=1265 students
