Wore spectacles |
Did not wear spectacles |
Before |
9x4 = 36 u |
1x4 = 4 u |
Change |

|
After |
1x1 = 1 u |
4x1 = 4 u |
20% =
20100 =
15The number of pupils who did not wear spectacles remains unchanged. LCM of 1 and 4 is 4.
Number of pupils who wore spectacles and left
= 36 u - 1 u
= 35 u
35 u = 385
1 u = 385 ÷ 35 = 11
Number of pupils who did not wear spectacles
= 4 u
= 4 x 11
= 44
