Question

A school has a virus going around, and 8/25 of the students are absent due to the virus. An additional 20 students are out due to other reasons. If the school normally has 775 students, how many students are absent?

Answer 1

Answer:

268 students are absent

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply 775 by (8/25) to get the number of students out from the virus (probably weren't wearing masks or 6 ft apart from each other). This gives you 248 students. You also know that an additional 20 students are out due to other reasons. Add 248 and 20 and you get a total of 268 absent students.
