There are 2,736 students in private schools.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Ratio of private school students to public school students = 2:7
Total students = 12312
Let,
x be the original number.
Therefore,
Private school students = 2x
Public school students = 7x
According to given statement;
[tex]2x+7x=12312\\9x=12312\\[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 9
[tex]\frac{9x}{9}=\frac{12312}{9}\\x=1368[/tex]
Number of private school students = 2x = 2(1368) = 2736
There are 2,736 students in private schools.
