Question

On a rainy day. 8/13 of the students were absent in a class. If 15 students were present, find the number of students in the class.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of students in the class is 39.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total number of students.

15 + $\frac{8}{13} x$ = x

$\frac{195+8x}{13} = x\\\\195 + 8x = 13x\\\\13x-8x = 195\\\\5x=195\\\\x = \frac{195}{5}\\\\x = 39$
