Question

In a school, 25% of the teachers teach basic math. If there are 50 basic math teachers, how many teachers are there in a school?

Answer 1

Explanation:

There are 200 teachers if 25% is equal to 50 teachers

Answer 2

200

Explanation:

25% is equal to a quarter, therefore a quarter of all teachers teach basic maths. If there are 50 who teach basic maths, multiplying it by 4 will give the total number of teachers.

50 x 4 = 200

To check it divide 200 by 4, to get a quarter of teachers, and that will be the number of basic maths teachers.

200 / 4 = 50
