Question

On a rainy day, $94\%$ of the students were present in a school, if the number of students absent on that day was $174$, find the total strength of the school.

Answer 1

Total $\%$ age of students $=100$
Students present $=94\%$
Students absent $=(100-94)=6\%$
Let, the total number of students in school $=x$
$6\%$ of $x=174\Rightarrow \frac{6}{100}\times x=174$
$\Rightarrow x=174\times \frac{100}{6}\Rightarrow x=29\times 100=2900$
$\therefore$ Total strength of the school $=2900$
