Number of classrooms in the school are 18

Explanation:

Step 1: Let the number of classrooms be x. Form an equation with given information.

Number of desk per classroom = 26

Additional desks bought = 75

Total number of desks in HCS = 543

⇒ 26x + 75 = 543

⇒ 26x = 543 - 75 = 468

⇒ x = 468/26 = 18
