A school district has a student population of 6,734 students. If the maximum class size is 25 students, how many teachers must the district hire to supplement their current staff of 217 teachers?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
To calculate the number of additional teachers needed, first determine the total number of classes by dividing the total student population by the maximum class size: 6734 students ?À 25 students = 269.36, rounded up to 270 classes. Then subtract the current number of teachers from the total classes to find the additional teachers required: 270 classes - 217 current teachers = 53 additional teachers needed.
