In the fairest school 70% are below 16 years old
1/3 are teachers which is equals to = 21
Let’s start solving:
=> 1/3 of 100%
=> 100 / 3 = 33.33%
thus 33.33% = 21
=> 21 x 3 = 63, is the total number of people in the school.
Let’s try solving the number of people below 16 years old
Have you notice that you are asking for a 70% of students but there are already 33.33% of teacher. Thus your given problem is not right already.
=> 100% - 33.33% = 66.67% that’s the only remaining percentage and not 70%
=> 63 * .6667 = 42.0021
Thus, there are around 42 people who are 16 years old younger.
