Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several information's already given in the question. Lat us first write them down and then go for solving the problem.

Total number of pupil in Secondary one = 225

Let us assume the number of pupil who do not pay the school fees through GIRO scheme = x

Then

Number of pupil who pay the school fees through GIRO scheme = 14x

So

x + 14x = 225

15x = 225

x = 15

From the above deduction, it can be concluded that 15 pupil did not join the  scheme
