Question

Dr. Karuza would like to send some classes on a trip to Disneyland. She explains that in order for any classses to go, 25% of the passengers must be teachers. Aniyah explains that if 4 teachers chose 24 students from 1 class to go then the teachers will be 25% of the passengers.

Do you agree or disagree with her answer?

Answer 1

No, if 4 teachers chose 24 students from 1 class to go then the teachers will not be 25% of the passengers.

Explanation:

Given: If 4 teachers chose 24 students from 1 class to go then the teachers will be 25% of the passengers.

To find: if the given statement is correct or not

Solution:

Total number of teachers = 4

Total number of students = 24

Total number of passengers = Total number of teachers + Total number of students = 4 + 24 = 28

Here,

25% of Total number of passengers =
`(25)/(100)(28)=7\\eq 4`

So, if 4 teachers chose 24 students from 1 class to go then the teachers will not be 25% of the passengers.
