Answer 1

Using the provided percentages and the number of students of 6 years of age, we calculated that the total number of students at ABC Public School is 240.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the total number of students at ABC Public School, we need to use the provided percentages and numbers. According to the information given, 20% of the students are below 6 years of age. The number of students who are above 6 years and the number who are 6 years old are equal, with the latter being 96 students.

Let's denote the total number of students as T. Since both the number of students above 6 years and of 6 years of age are 96, we have:

• Number of students 6 years of age = 96
• Number of students above 6 years of age = 96

Together, these two categories represent 80% of the total (100% - 20% = 80%), so:

0.8 × T = 96 + 96

0.8 × T = 192

To find the total number of students (T), we can divide 192 by 0.8:

T = 192 / 0.8

T = 240

So, the total number of students at ABC Public School is 240.
