Juniors Seniors
Condition
- Initially J S
- 15 seniors left S - 15
- Twice juniors as seniors 2(S - 15)
- 3/4 of the juniors left 1/4×2(S - 15)
- 1/3 of seniors left 2/3×(S - 15)
At the end, there were 8 more seniors than juniors:
- 2/3×(S - 15) - 1/4×2(S - 15) = 8
Now you have obtained one equation, which you can solve to find S, the number of senior students, and then the number of junior students.
Solve the equation:
