Answer 1

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

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 = 50
