30% of the scholars are working as stagehands. 35 scholars are actors and actresses. How many students in total are in the school play, acting and working behind the scene?

Answer:

There are 50 students in total in the school play, acting and working behind the scene.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the statement indicates that 30% of the scholars are working as stagehands, you can subtract this from 100% that represents the total amount of student in the school play to find the percentage that are actors and actresses:

100%-30%=70%

Now, as you know that 70% of the students are actors and actresses and the statement indicates that they are 35, you can use a rule of three to find the amount of students that represent 100%:

70%    →    35

100%   →     x

x=(100*35)/70

x=50

According to this, the answer is that there are 50 students in total in the school play, acting and working behind the scene.
