Question

There are 340 freshman at BHSS. This is one hundred less than two times the number of sophomores. Find the number of sophomores at BHSS.

Answer 1

To put it into an equation, it would be:

340 = 2x - 100

with x being the amount of sophomores at BHSS.

Solve it:

340 + 100 = 2x

2x = 440

x = 220

The number of sophomores at BHSS is 220.
