Before |
5x1 = 5 u |
3x1 = 3 u |
Change |
+ 176 |
|
After |
9x3 = 27 u |
1x3 = 3 u |
90% =
90100 =
910The number of students who did not wear glasses remains unchanged. LCM of 3 and 1 is 3.
Number of students who wore glasses and left
= 27 u - 5 u
= 22 u
22 u = 176
1 u = 176 ÷ 22 = 8
Number of students who did not wear glasses
= 3 u
= 3 x 8
= 24
