If you want to add fractions, you need to first make them like fractions, this means both fractions need to have the same denominator without changing its proportion:
7/10 = 70/100
17/100 = 17/100
Now it is the same and you can add them now because they are like fractions.
70/100 + 17/100 = 87/100
Your answer is B.
Answer: 120 students
Explanation:
Let x be the number of scopes
Let a be the number of student at school
1x = 5 students
But 5x = a
1x = 4 students
But the principal needs 6 additional scope so that all the students can use it.
=> (x + 6) = 4 students
=> 4(x + 6) = a
Thus,
5x = 4(x + 6)
5x = 4x + 24
5x - 4x = 24
x = 24
So, there are 24 scopes.
Plug x in both equation and compare:
5x = a
5(24) = a
120 = a
4(x + 6) = a
4(24 + 6) = a
4(30) = a
120 = a
Therefore, the students at the school are 120
