Question

On a particular day 75% students were present in a class. If the number of absent students was 14, then find the total number of students in that class.
1. 56
2. 75
3. 50
4. 66

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 56

Given:

% of students who were present in the class = 75%

Number of absent students = 14

Formula used:

Formula of percentage.

X% of Y = XY/100

Calculation:

Let total number of students = x

Number of present students = 75x/100

⇒ 3x/4

So, number of absent students = x - 3x/4

⇒ x/4

x/4 = 14

⇒ x = 56

∴ total number of students is 56
