Answer:

x = 1425

Explanation:

Given that,

A student found out that 8% of the students in his school are left-handed.

Total no of lefties = 114

We need to find the total number of students in the school. Let they are be x.

ATQ,

8% of x = 114

$(8x)/(100)=114\\\\x=(114* 100)/(8)\\\\=1425$

Hence, there are 1425 students in the school.
