The distribution above shows the number of days a group of 260 students were absent from school in a particular term. How many students were absent for at least four days in the term?

Jamb Maths Solution: 

Total number of student

$260=20+2x+60+40+x+50$

$260=170+3x$

$x=30$

No of student absent for at least four days =

No of students absent for 4 days + No of students absent for 5 days + No of students absent for 6 days

=40 + x + 50 = 40 + 30 + 50 =120
