STUDENTS               X              10               

FACULTY           100-X              25


                                   10X + 25(100-X) = 1300

                                    10X + 2500 -25X = 1300

                                    10X - 25X = -2500 + 1300

                                             -15X = -1200

                                               15X = 1200

                                                    X = 1200/15

                                                    X = 80 STUDENTS <--------SOLUTION
