Calculating Total Students from Class Rank
This problem involves finding the total number of students in a class when given a student's position from both the top and the bottom.
Understanding the Ranking Principle
When calculating the total number of people in a single line or group based on one person's position, we add their rank from the top and their rank from the bottom. However, since the person themselves is counted in both ranks, we must subtract 1 to avoid double-counting.
Formula for Total Students
The formula used is:
$ \text{Total Students} = (\text{Rank from Top}) + (\text{Rank from Bottom}) - 1 $
Step-by-Step Calculation
-
Identify the given ranks:
- Rank from Top = 69
- Rank from Bottom = 13
-
Apply the formula:
$ \text{Total Students} = 69 + 13 - 1 $
-
Perform the addition:
$ 69 + 13 = 82 $
-
Perform the subtraction:
$ 82 - 1 = 81 $
Final Result
Therefore, there are 81 students in Mr. Toni's class.
