60 %×x=180

x= 60/100 ×180=30Hence,

Totalstudent=300

Answer 2

Given :

boys = 68%

Let number of girls be = x

$\implies \: x + 180 = total \: students \\ \\ \therefore \: girls \: = 68 - 100 \\ \\ = 32 \% \\ \\ 180 - 68\% = girls \\ \\ \implies \: 180 \times \frac{68}{100} \\ \\ = 9 \times 68 \\ \\ = 612 \: girls \\ \\ \therefore \: 612 + 180 = boys \\ \\ = 792 \: boys \\ \\ total \: \: students \: = boys \: + girls \\ \\ = 792 + 612 \\ \\ = \huge{ \green{ \boxed{ \red{1404}}}} \\ \\ \\ \pink{ \boxed{ \blue{ \boxed{ \orange { \star{ \purple{ \mathfrak{ \: \: \: \: mark \: \: me \: \: as \: \: brainliet}}}}}}}}$
