Question

In a school, 25% of the teachers teach basic math. If there are 50 basic math teachers, how many teachers are there in a school?

Answer 1

200 teachers

Explanation:

If 25% is a fourth of the teacher staff, and this value is fifty, to find out how many teachers there are you just have to multiply by 4 to find out the 100%. So this means that 50*4= 200

Answer 2

Total teachers = 200

Explanation:

Let x be the total teachers in school

Basic Maths teachers = 25 % of x

Basic Maths Teachers = 50

=> 25% of x = 50

=>
`(25)/(100) x = 50`

=>
`(x)/(4) = 50`

Multiplying both sides by 4

=> x = 200
