Answer:
48 pupils
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of people in the class be x
⅚ of the number of pupils in a class is expressed as ⅚x
4 greater than three-quarters of the number in the class is expressed as 3/4x+4
Equating both expressions
⅚x = 3/4x + 4
5x/6 - 3x/4 = 4
(10x-9x)/12 = 4
x/12 = 4
x = 4*12
x = 48
Hence the number of pupils in the class is 48 pupils
