Answer:
40 students
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, one is given the ratio ( 8 : 3 ), since a ratio is another way of writing a fraction one can rewrite it as; 
(8) represent the number of students who want to learn about magnets, and (3) represents the number of students who want to learn about magic tricks.
In the problem, it is also given that 25 more students wanted to learn about magnets compared to magic tricks. If one uses the parameter (x) to represent the factor by which the fraction is reduced, then one can get the equation;
8x = 3x + 25
Use inverse operations to solve,
8x = 3x + 25
-3x
5x = 25
/5
x = 5
Substitute back in to find out how many students want to learn about magnets,
8x
= 8(5)
= 40

Given :
Susan wanted to share her 37 seashells with her two younger brothers.
To Find :
If she divided her seashells between the three of them, how many would each person get.
Solution :
Let, each person will get x seashells.
So,
But as we know seashells cannot be in decimal.
Therefore, each person will get exactly 12 shells.
