Question

In the​ 2009-2010 school year in country​ A, there were

131,000

foreign students from country B. This number is

24​%

more than the number of students from country C. How many foreign students were from country​ C?

Answer 1

There are 131,000 students from country B. If this is 24% more than the number of students from country C, then 131,000 (100% - 24%) = 131,000 * 76% = 131,000 * 0.76 (76% written as a proportion) = 99,560 students came from country C.
