Question

There are 81 women teachers at Russell High. If 45% of the teachers in the school are women, how many teachers are there at Russell High?

Answer 1

180 teachers

Explanation:

In this case, we know the value corresponding to 45% of female teachers which is 81, therefore, to find the total it would be:

% teachers #teachers

45 81

100 x

we apply the rule of three:

x = 100 * 81/45

x = 180

which means that there are a total of 180 teachers at Russell High
