ii) Number of girls in the school.



​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total no. Of students bex

Given there are boys=1482

Also girls = 43% of x

Now.

x-43 x-100=1482

=> 100x-43x-100=1482

=>57x-100=1482

=>x=2600

Therefore total students are 2600

Now, total girls =2600-1482=1118

Let total no. Of students bex

Given there are boys=1482

Also girls = 43% of x

Now.

x-43 x-100=1482

=> 100x-43x-100=1482

=>57x-100=1482

=>x=2600

Therefore total students are 2600

Now, total girls =2600-1482=1118
