Answer 2

Solution!!

Given that the 55% of the students in a school are girls.

This clearly means that out of 100% of the students in a school, 55% are girls.

Percentage of boys in the school = 100% - 55% = 45%

Given that the number of boys = 216

Let the total students in the school be x.

45% of x = 216

45/100 × x = 216

x = 21600/45

x = 480

Therefore, the total number of students in the school equals 480.
