Question

45% of the students in a school are boys. If the total number of students in the school is 880, find the number of girls in the school.

Answer 1

Given total number of students in the school = 880

Number of boys in the school = 45% of 880

= (45/100) × 880

= 39600/100

Number of boys = 396

Number of girls in the school = total number of students – number of boys

= 880 – 396

Number of girls = 484
