Answer:

There are 450 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call

s = total number of students

am = American students

eu = European students

au = Australian students

<em>Half of the students in an International School are Americans.</em> Then,

1/2 s = am [1]

<em>One third of the remaining students are Europeans.</em>

The remaining students are s - 1/2 s = 1/2 s

1/3 × (1/2 s) = 1/6 s = eu  [2]

<em>There are 150 Australians.</em>

au = 150 [3]

The total number of students is the sum of Americans, Europeans and Australians.

am + eu + au = s

Replacing [1], [2] and [3].

1/2 s + 1/6 s + 150 = s

2/3 s + 150 = s

1/3 s = 150

s = 450

Answer:

450 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s = number of students

1/2 are Americans  1/2s are Americans

s -1/2s = number of students left

1/2 s = number of students left

1/3 of the students left are Europeans

1/3 (1/2s) = 1/6s  are Europeans

The rest are Australians = 150

Students = Americans + Europeans + Australians

   s          =   1/2s          +    1/6s    + 150

Combine like terms

s    = 1/2*3/3 *s + 1/6s +150

s = 3/6s + 1/6s +150

s = 4/6s + 150

Subtract 4/6s from each side

s -4/6s = 150

6/6s - 4/6s = 150

2/6s = 150

1/3s = 150

Multiply each side by 3

3* 1/3s = 150*3

s = 450

There are 450 students
