Question

5. 70% of the students in a school are boys and the number of girls is 504. Find the number of
boys in the school​

Answer 1

1176 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

let total students x

then 30% of total students (x)=504

from here we get x=1680

then 70%of x will be 1176 boys

Answer 2

70% of students = boys

percentage of girls = 30%

let the no. of students be x

30% of x =504

x = 100/30 *504

x = 1680

no.of boys = 70/100*1680

= 1176
