Question

$32\%$ of the teachers in a school are females and the number of male teachers is $85$. Find the total number of teachers in the school.

Answer 1

In school, $32$% of teachers are female.

$\Rightarrow$ $(100-32)\%$ of teachers are male.

i.e., $68\%$ of teachers are male.

It is given that, Number of male teachers are $85$.

Let the total number of teachers be $x$.

$\Rightarrow x\times \frac{68}{100}=85$

$\Rightarrow x=85\times \frac{100}{68}$

$\Rightarrow x=5\times \frac{100}{4}$

$\Rightarrow x=5\times 25$

$\Rightarrow x=125$

Therefore, the total no. of teachers are $125$.
