hard to say. How many of the total population are new students?
Well, it depends on how many total students there are but if the total is 1050 which you might've meant then you have to find out what 1/5 of 1050 is or 1050 divided by 5

Please figure out which is correct

A. 1050 divided by 5 is 210
B. 1050 divided by 5 is 525
C. 1050 divided by 5 is 505
D. 1050 divided by 5 is 205

When you figure out which one is correct multiply the answer by 3 and minus it from 1050

1050/5=x
1050-3x= the correct answer

Please don't hate me if this is wrong or doesn't make sense! I just tried to put how I did it in my head on paper without giving you the answer. if you have any questions, please post them! Good luck!
