If total number of teachers $=1800$
(i) What is the total number of teachers teaching Chemistry, English and Biology?
(ii) What is the difference between the total number of teachers who teach English and Physics together and the total number of teachers who teach Mathematics and Biology together?

Answer

(i) Number of teachers teaching Chemistry
$=\frac{23}{100} \times 1800=414$
Number of teachers teaching English
$=\frac{27}{100} \times 1800=486$
Number of teachers teaching Biology
$=\frac{12}{100} \times 1800=216$
Total numbers of teachers teaching Chemistry, English and Biology $=414+486+216=1116$
(ii) Number of teachers teaching English
$=\frac{27}{100} \times 1800=486$
Number of teachers teaching Physics
$=\frac{17}{100} \times 1800=306$
Number of teachers teaching Mathematics
$=\frac{13}{100} \times 1800=234$
Number of teachers teaching Biology $=216$
$\therefore$ Difference between the total number of teachers teaching English and Physics together and the total number of teachers who teach Mathematics and Biology together
$=(486+306)-(234+216)=792-450=342$
