Question

he total number of students in a school is 2060. If the number of girls is 40 more than the boys
find the number of boys in the school. Also, find the number of girls​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number of boys be x.

Then, the number of girls = x+40

Atq,

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: x + (x + 40) = 2060$

$= > x + x + 40 = 2060$

$= > 2x + 40= 2060$

$= > 2 x= 2060 - 40$

$= > 2x = 2020$

$= > x = \frac{2020}{2}$

$= x> = 1010$

Hence , the number of boys = 1010

And the number of girls = 1010+40=1050
