Explanation / Answer

Given averages

Total Number of students =13450

Budget =87.4 million $

Number of Teachers =635

Student teacher ratio= 13450:635=2690/127=21.18

Budget per student= 87.4/13450=437/67250=0.006

Now number of students in MSD= 10320

Using the above ratios

We get Number of teachers should be 10320/21.18= 487 teachers

Budget = 10320*87.4/13450=67.00 million $

Adjustments are

Teachers to be reduced =498-487= 11

Budget to be reduced=69.1-67=2.1 million $
