Answer 2

The total teachers in the school are 50.

Explanation:

Given:

In a school math teachers are 30%.

Now, to get the total teachers in school if there are 15 math teachers.

Percentage of math teachers = 30%.

Number of math teachers = 15.

Let the total number of teachers be
`x`.

So, according to question:

`30\%\ of\ x=15`

⇒
`(30)/(100)* x=15`

⇒
`0.30* x=15`

⇒
`0.30x=15`

Dividing both sides by 0.30 we get:

⇒
`x=50`

Therefore, the total teachers in the school are 50.
