Answer:

200 teachers

Explanation:

If 25% is a fourth of the teacher staff, and this value is fifty, to find out how many teachers there are you just have to multiply by 4 to find out the 100%. So this means that 50*4= 200

Answer:

Total teachers = 200

Explanation:

Let x be the total teachers in school

Basic Maths teachers = 25 % of x

Basic Maths Teachers = 50

=> 25% of x = 50

=>
(25)/(100) x = 50

=>
(x)/(4) = 50

Multiplying both sides by 4

=> x = 200
