No. of Days | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
No. of students | 20 | 2x | 60 | 40 | x | 50 |
The distribution above shows the number of days a group of 260 students were absent from school in a particular term. How many students were absent for at least four days in the term?
180
120
110
40
Correct answer is B
20 + 2x + 60 + 40 + x + 50 = 260
170 + 3x = 260
3x = 260 - 170
3x = 90
x = 90/3 = 30
At least 4 days
4 days = 40
5 days = 30
6 days = 50
Total = 120
