At a certain school, there are 24 students per teacher and 2 administrative
staff members for every 3 teachers. If there are 6 administrative staff members,
how many students attend the school?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If there are 6 administrative staff members, it means, according to the problem, 
that there are %286%2F2%29%2A3 = 3*3 = 9 teachers.


In turn, it implies that  9*24 = 216 students  attend the school.    ANSWER

Solved.
