300 sat on the chairs. (600/2=300)
200 sat on the floor. (600/3)=200)
100 sat on the desks. (600-300-200=100)

600 people
half of 600 = 300
a third of 600 = 600 /3 = 200
people sitting on the floor = 600 - 300 - 200 = 100
A.) 200 people sat on the floor
B.) 300 people sat on desks
C,) 100 people sat on chairs

600/2=300
300/3=100
300+100=400,in total there should be 600 people,so 400+200=600,the rest is 200.
300-sat in chair
100-sat on the floor
200-sat on the desk.

600 people in class
300 on chairs
200 on the floor
600 - 300 - 200 = 100 on desks
Or am I missing something? Is this a trick question?
