Question

There are 244 seventh grade students. The number of students enrolled in P.E. Is 8 fewer than three times the number of students enrolled in health

Answer 1

No. of students enrolled in Health = 63

No. of students enrolled in P.E. = 181

Explanation:

Given,

Total students in grade seven = 244 students

A.T.Q.

Let the number of students enrolled in Health be x

so, The number of students enrolled in P.E. = 3x - 8

As we know,

x + (3x - 8) = 244

4x = 244 + 8

x = 252/4

x = 63

Thus, the number of students enrolled in Health = 63

The number of students enrolled in P.E. = 3x - 8

= 3 * 63 - 8

= 189 - 8

= 181 students
