Question 433085
Let S = the number of seniors
Then the number of juniors = S-5
Given:
8% of juniors and 5% of seniors on the honor roll
Total number on the honor roll is 10.
So we can write the following equation:
0.08(S-5) + 0.05S = 10
Solve for S:
0.13S = 10.4 -> S = 80
Therefore, the number of seniors = 80
