Question

In a school 30% of the teachers are math teachers. If there are 15 math teachers how many teachers are in the school?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total teachers in the school are 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

In a school math teachers are 30%.

Now, to get the total teachers in school if there are 15 math teachers.

Percentage of math teachers = 30%.

Number of math teachers = 15.

Let the total number of teachers be $x$.

So, according to question:

$30\%\ of\ x=15$

⇒$\frac{30}{100}\times x=15$

⇒$0.30\times x=15$

⇒$0.30x=15$

Dividing both sides by 0.30 we get:

⇒$x=50$

Therefore, the total teachers in the school are 50.
