Answer (3)
1 − 17 2 = 17 15 17 15 − − 3000 1 − − x x = 3400
3,400
STEP BY STEP:
If 2/17 were socialists, then 15/17 were not socialists.
So...
3000 = 15/17x
(x represents the total number of teachers)
Multiply by 17 on both sides.
51,000 = 15x
Divide by 15 on both sides.
3,400 = x
Total number of teachers: 3,400. ;
The total number of teachers is 3,400, determined by calculating that 17 15 of the total teachers equals 3000. By solving the equation, we find the total count of teachers. Thus, if 3000 teachers are not sciolists, the total number of teachers is 3,400.
