Question:

64% of the students of a class are girls and 81.25% of the girls have chosen soccer as their favourite sport. If 143 girls have chosen soccer as their favourite sport, what is the total number of students in the class?

Options:

270

280

300

275

Correct Answer:

275

Explanation:

64% = \(\frac{16}{25}\) 

let total number of students in class =  100x

Girls chosen soccer is 81.25% of the 64% of 100x ,

 \(\frac{16}{25}\) × \(\frac{81.25}{100}\) × 100X = 143 (Given)

100X = 275

So , Total number of students in the class = 275
