    So we first 225/3=75 so we know that that is the common x. Now we multiply it by 4 to get the non athletes. = 300 I believe

    300 non atheletes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Data obtained from the question include:

    Ratio of athletes = 3

    Ratio of non atheletes = 4

    Total ratio = 3 + 4 = 7

    Number of atheletes = 225

    Number of non atheletes = ?

    To begin our calculations, let us obtain the total number of people present. This is illustrated below:

    Let the total number of people present be T.

    Number of athletes = ratio of athletes / tota ratio x T

    3/7 x T = 225

    Cross multiply to express in linear form

    3T = 7 x 225

    Divide both side by the coefficient of T i. e 3

    T = (7 x 225) / 3

    T = 525

    Therefore there are 525 people present.

    Remember that the people present are atheletes and non atheletes i. e

    Total = atheletes + non atheletes

    Total = 525

    Atheletes = 225

    Non atheletes = ?

    Total = atheletes + non atheletes

    525 = 225 + non atheletes

    Collect like terms

    Non atheletes = 525 - 225

    Non atheletes = 300.

    Therefore, there are 300 non atheletes present in the sch
