Respuesta :

Answer: 2nd most popular country =  15895 students

most popular country = 24390 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Total students: 40,285

2nd most popular country = x students

most popular country = x + 8,495 students

x + x + 8495 = 40285

2x + 8495 = 40285

2x = 40285 - 8495

2x = 31790

x = 15895

2nd most popular country = x = 15895 students

most popular country = x + 8,495 = 15895 + 8,495 = 24390 students
