let x = total students
then (1/12)x = those absent
and (11/12)x = those in school
But (1/5) of the (11/12)x went on field trip = (11/60)x.
So x - (11/60)x - (1/12)x = 704
Solve for x.
then (1/12)x = those absent
and (11/12)x = those in school
But (1/5) of the (11/12)x went on field trip = (11/60)x.
So x - (11/60)x - (1/12)x = 704
Solve for x.
