The students found that 0.016 of the teachers were either
completely brave or fearless. If 480 teachers fell into one
of these categories,how many teachers were there in all?
Let N = the number of teacher there were in all.
480 teachers fell into one of these categories, so
480 teachers were either completely brave or fearless
0.016 of the teachers were either completely brave or fearless.
Therefore,
480 teachers = 0.016 of the teachers
480 = 0.016N
Divide both sides by 0.016
30000 = N
There are 30000 teachers
