Question

Mrs. Lee teaches 132 students every day. On a particular day, one-fourth of her students are sick and 24 go on a field trip. In addition to these absences, she gets three new students. How many students does she teach on this day?

Answer 1

Answer: 78

Explanation:

Given

Mrs. Lee has
`132` students

On a particular day, one-fourth of her students are sick i.e.

`\Rightarrow (1)/(4)* 132=33`

and 24 were on a field trip.

The total no of students taught on that day will be the subtraction of the gone students and the addition of three new.

`\Rightarrow 132-33-24+3\\\Rightarrow 78`
