Question

Yesterday only 13 students were absent. The is 4% of the schools enrollment. What is the schools total enrollment?

Answer 1

Answer: 325 students

Explanation:

13 students were absent and this is 4% of the school's total enrollment.

If 13 students represent 4% of the students, assume that x represents 100% of the students:

4% * x = 13

0.04x = 13

x = 13/0.04

x = 325 students

There are 325 students in this school.
