Question

On a rainy day, 94% of the students present in school. If the number of students absent on that day was 174, find the total strength of the school.

Answer 1

Let total students be x
If 94% were present then 6%are absent
6/100×x=174
X=2900
Total strength=2900

Answer 2

So,6% of students were absent.
Let the total strength be x.
6% of x =174
(6/100)x=174
x=(174*100)/6
x=2900

The total strength of the school is 2900.
