In the fairest school 20% are below 16 years old
1/3 are teachers which is equals to = 21
Let’s start solving:
=> 1/3 of 100% = ( 100 / 3 = 33.33% )
thus 33.33% = 21
=> 21 x 3 = 63, is the total number of people in the school.
Let’s try solving the number of people below 16 years old
Then there are 20% of it:
=> 63 * .20 = 12.6
Thus, there are around 13 people who are 16 years old younger.
