The answer is in the question, X would equal one
There are several information's already given in the question. Lat us first write them down and then go for solving the problem.
Total number of pupil <span>in Secondary one = 225
Let us assume the number of pupil who do not pay the school fees through GIRO scheme = x
Then
Number </span>of pupil who pay the school fees through GIRO scheme = 14x
So
x + 14x = 225
15x = 225
x = 15
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that 15 pupil did not join the scheme.
D is correct for this problem
4 pairs of pants for $18.
Divide price by quantity to get the cost of 1 pair of pants:
18 / 4 = 4.50 per pair.
Divide 27 by 4.50 to find number of pairs:
27 / 4.5 = 6
6 pairs of pants can be cleaned for $27.
