Question

on a rainy day 94% of students were present in a school if the number of students are absent on that day was 174 find the total strength of the school

Answer 1

let total students be x

=> 94x/100 + 174 = x
=> 94x + 17400/100 = x
=>94x + 17400 = 100x
=>94x - 100x = -17400
=> -6x = -17400
=> x = -17400/-6 = 2900


Hence there were 2900 students.

Answer 2

Greetings..!

Let the total no of students be valued as 100%.

Then, 94% of it are present.

SO,(100-94) = 6 % of them are absent .

No of students who were absent  = 174

So, we can say , 6% equals to 174

So, 1 % equals to 174/6 = 29

And 100% equals to = 29*100 = 2900

Answer : Hence, total strentgh is 2900
