I will mark brainliest please answer fast

Answer 1

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of boys, so (x - 6) will be number of girls.

total number of students will be boys plus girls : x + (x - 6) = 2x - 6

now 44% are girls which come from formula no. of girls divide by total students into 100: (x - 6)/(2x-6)*100 = 44

by solving we get x = 28 (where x is number of boys)

now x - 6 = 28–6 = 22 (number of girls)

add both we get total number of students = 28 + 22 = 50

Answer 2

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of boys,

So, (x - 6) will be the number of girls.

Total number of students will be boys plus girls,

x + (x - 6) = 2x - 6

Now,

44% are girls which come from formula no. of girls divide by total students into 100,(

x - 6)/(2x-6)*100 = 44

By solving we get,

x = 28 (where x is number of boys)

Now,

x - 6 = 28–6 = 22 (number of girls)

Add both we get,

Total number of students = 28 + 22 = 50
