Question

200 students took part in a sport competition. There were 4 times as many girls as boys
(1) How many were girls
(2) How many more girls than boys were there

Answer 1

1.150 boys
2.50 girls

Answer 2

Let boys= x
Therefore girls= 4x
Total no. of students= No. of girls + No. of boys
Total no. of students= x+4x
200=x+4x
200=5x
200/5=x
40=x
x=40
(1)No. of girls = 4x= 4(40)=160
(2) Difference between girls and boys=160-40=120
Therefore 120 more girls than boys are there.
