In a certain school, 20% of students are below 8 years of age. The number of students above 8 years of age is
of the number of students of 8 years of age which is 48. What is the total number of students in the school?
Answer : Option E
Explanation :
Let the number of students be x. Then,
Number of students above 8 years of age = (100 - 20)% of x = 80% of x.
80 % of x = 48 +23 of 48
80100 x = 80
x = 100.
