Hi Carina!  Looks like you're doing math homework.  Hope my answers are helpful, but let me know if you'd like to know more about how to do them.
 
Total number of students = T
 
.08T=112
 
T = 112/.08 = 1400

Hi James,
 
I really appreciated that you answer all my questions. Your work was very helpful. I was able to figure out what I did wrong on my work. I really have a hard time setting up the problem and I also have a hard time figuring out when to divide, multiply, add and subtract.  
anyways thank you so much!
