Number of pupils from Club W at first in percent
= 100% + 20%
= 120%
Number of pupils from Club W at first
= 120% x 10
=
120100 x 10
= 12
Number of pupils in Club V remains unchanged.
5 u = 10
1 u = 10 ÷ 5 = 2
Number of pupils from Club W in the end
= 3 u
= 3 x 2
= 6
Number of pupils from Club W who left
= 12 - 6
= 6
Answer(s): 6
