    If the ratio of private school students to public school students in a city is 4 to 15 and there is a total of 18,601 students, how many students are in public schools?

    Since 4 out of 15 are public school students, this means (15 - 4)/15 = 11/15 are public school students.

    The total public school students are (11/15) * 18601 = 13,640.73. Rounded up, it is 13,641.
