Question

If 95% of the students are present in a school and the number of absent students is 25, find the total number of students in the school? (A) 500 (B) 400 (C) 600 (D) 450

Answer 1

Answer: Option A: 500.

Explanation:

If 95% of the students are present in a school, then the number of absent students is 5% of the total number of students. We are given that the number of absent students is 25, so we can set up an equation:

0.05x = 25

Solving for x, we get:

x = 25 / 0.05 = 500

Therefore, the total number of students in the school is 500.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option A: 500.
