The student-to-faculty ratio at a small college is 17:3. The total of the students and faculty is 740. How many faculty members are there at the college? How many Students?

Ratio of student to teacher = 17:3

Let the total number of students and faculty = x

Then Number of students = 17X

Number of teachers = 3X

So

17X+3X=740

20X = 740

X = 37

Then the number of students = 17*37

= 629

Number of teachers = 3*37

=111
