Respuesta :

Answer:

x = 1425

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A student found out that 8% of the students in his school are left-handed.

Total no of lefties = 114

We need to find the total number of students in the school. Let they are be x.

ATQ,

8% of x = 114

[tex]\dfrac{8x}{100}=114\\\\x=\dfrac{114\times 100}{8}\\\\=1425[/tex]

Hence, there are 1425 students in the school.
