Given:
Total percentage of boys = 40%
Total number of students = 12
To Find:
The total number of students in the class.
Solution:
Let the total number of studetns be = x
Thus,
40% of x = 12
Solving,
= 40/100 x x = 12
= 0.4x = 12
x = 12/0.4
x = 12/4 x 10
= 120/4
x = 30
Total number of students = 30
Answer: The total number of students in the class is 30.
