What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

In the school, there are n students. Of those 1/5 of 3/8, that is, 3/15 wear glasses and identified blue as their favorite color. This amount is equivalent to 33 students, hence:

3/15n = 33

n = 33 x 15/3

n = 11 x 15

n = 165.

There are 165 students in the school.
