    In a school, Class 10 is divided into two sections.

    Section A has 100/3%  of the total students, while the rest are in Section B. If 15 students from Section B are moved to Section A, the total number of students in Section A becomes 50% of the entire class. What percentage of the total students would be in Section A if, instead, 15 students were initially transferred from Section A to Section B?
