        Thanks for the clarification guys. Math isn't one of my strong points. LOL

        Clonge, I see that you are new here. I work hard for my karma and have answered over a thousand questions. Not all of my answers are going to be correct even though I try hard to ensure they are right. Usually our Karma isn't taken away because we give a wrong answer. You lose points too when you take someone's Karma.

          5 is 25% of how many?


          i.e. 25% of  y= 5


          i.e. 25/100 × y = 5


          i.e. y = 5 ×100/25


          i.e. y = 100/5


          i.e. y = 20


          So, there are 20 teachers in a school.


          Hope this has helped you to some extent. Now solve the other related problems with your friends.
