Number of students from Club R at first in percent
= 100% - 40%
= 60%
Number of students from Club R at first
= 60% x 45
=
60100 x 45
= 27
Number of students in Club Q remains unchanged.
5 u = 45
1 u = 45 ÷ 5 = 9
Number of students from Club R in the end
= 4 u
= 4 x 9
= 36
Number of students joined Club R
= 36 - 27
= 9
Answer(s): 9
