Sagot :

Given:

The principal approved the event for 200 students.

The number of juniors should be 25% of the number of seniors.

To find:

The number of juniors.

Explanation:

Let x be the number of seniors.

According to the problem,

[tex]x+25\%\text{ of }x=200[/tex]

Solve for x we get,

[tex]\begin{gathered} x+\frac{25}{100}x=200 \\ x+\frac{1}{4}x=200 \\ \frac{5x}{4}=200 \\ 5x=800 \\ x=\frac{800}{5} \\ x=160 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, the number of seniors is 160.

Therefore, the number of juniors must be,

[tex]200-160=40[/tex]

Final answer:

The number of juniors is 40.
