One day at Central High School, 1/12th of the students were absent, and 1/5th of those present went on a field trip. If the number of students staying in school was 704, how many people are enrolled at Central High?

Answer:

960 Students

Step-by-step explanation:

11/12 present

1/12 absent

1/5 on field trip

4/5 stayed in school

4/5 = 704

=> 5/4 x 704 = 880 (number of students present)(11/12)

•°• 12/11 x 880 = 960 (total number of students attending Central High School)
