Question

Plz help its so confusing

Answer 1

Answer:

20, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume total number of students registered is n

Last week n/4 people are absent

so people present are n - n/4 = 3n/4

Today after return of Jen  1/5 n are absent

so people present are n - n/5 = 4n/5

which is also equal to last week present people + 1 (Jen)

= 3n/4 + 1

= (3n + 4) / 4

so (3n + 4) / 4 = 4n/5

=> 3n + 4 = 4n/5 * 4

=> (3n + 4) * 5 = 16n

=> 15n + 20 = 16n

=> 20 = n

=> n = 20

So total students registered for class is 20

today no of people absent = n/5 = 20/5 = 4
