Question

The students found that .015 of the teachers were either brave or completely fear-

less. If 300 teachers fell into one of these categories, how many teachers were there
in all?

Answer 1

Total teachers = 20,000

Explanation:

We have to find Total number of teachers.

Given is the decimal number(percentage) and number of teacher that lie in the category.

So,

we know that: percentage= obtained teachers / total teachers

Putting values: 0.015 = 300/ total teachers

total teachers = 300/0.015

total teachers = 20,000
