Question

One-tenth of a class is absent. If the total attendance of the day is 126, find: (i) number of absent students (ii) total number of students​

Answer 1

(i) To find the number of absent students, we need to calculate one-tenth of the total attendance.

One-tenth of the total attendance = (1/10) * 126

Therefore, the number of absent students is 12.

(ii) To find the total number of students, we can add the number of absent students to the total attendance.

Total number of students = Total attendance + Number of absent students

Total number of students = 126 + 12

Therefore, the total number of students is 138.
