Question

70 % of the boys of a school are Hindu and 80% of the remainder are Muslims. If there be 322 more Hindus than Muslims, find the number of boys in the school

please answer with full explanation​

Answer 1

700 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of boys in school=x

Hindu boys = 70÷100× (x)= 0.7x

Muslim boys = 80÷100×(x-0.7x)

=4÷5×(0.3x)

=1.2x÷5

=0.25x

according to the question:

0.7x=0.24x + 322

0.7x- 0.24x= 322

0.46x=322

x=322÷0.46 =700 boys.

there are 700 boys in the school.
