Step-by-step explanation:

Thank you for asking the question!

There is a class with 40 pupils, three-fifth are the girls. so the number of boys will be calculated as follows.

Suppose Total pupils= 40

              Number of girls= 3\5        

             a Number of boys=?

According to a equation:

               y + 3 y\5 = 40

                       8 y\5 = 40

                              = 40*5\8

                              = 25

Hence the total number of boys is 25.

Hope it helps.
