Question

Mrs. Lee teaches 132 students every day. On a particular day, one-fourth of her students are sick and 24 go on a field trip. In addition to these absences, she gets three new students. How many students does she teach on this day?

Answer 1

Answer: 78

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Mrs. Lee has $132$ students

On a particular day, one-fourth of her students are sick i.e.

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{4}\times 132=33$

and 24 were on a field trip.

The total no of students taught on that day will be the subtraction of the gone students and the addition of three new.

$\Rightarrow 132-33-24+3\\\Rightarrow 78$
