3. 494

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 484

Given:

Total number of students in school is 880

45% of the students are boys.

Calculation:

Out of 100%, 45% are boys,

⇒ 45/100 × 880

⇒ 396

Number of Girls = Total students – Number of Boys

⇒ Number of Girls = 880 – 396

⇒ Number of Girls = 484

∴ Total number of girls are 484.
