Answer:

a) (i) 1200

b) (ii) 3750

c) (i) [tex]\frac{3}{20}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Total number of students = 5000

Ratio of teachers to students = 6 : 25

i) Number of teachers = ?

By the given ratio, we can let the number of teachers = 6[tex]x[/tex]

and we can let the number of students = 25[tex]x[/tex]

[tex]25x = 5000\\\Rightarrow x = 200[/tex]

Therefore, number of teachers = 6 [tex]\times[/tex] 200 = 1200

b) A Quarter of the students own i-phone classic 20.

ii) Number of students who do not own an i-phone classic?

As per question statement,

Number of students who own i-phone classic 20 = [tex]\frac{1}{4}\times 5000[/tex] = 1250

Number of students who do not own i-phone classic 20 = 5000 - 1250 = 3750

c) Number of students who own samsung galaxy a80s = 60% of students who own i-phone classic 20 = [tex]\frac{60}{100}\times 1250[/tex] = 750

Fraction of students who own samsung galaxy a80s = Number of students having samsung a80s divided by total number of students

[tex]\dfrac{750}{5000} = \dfrac{3}{20}[/tex]
