Question

if the total number of boys are 60% of the total number of students and are 24 in number, find the number of girls?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let y be total no of student

60% of y =24

60/100 ×y =24

y =24×100÷60

y =40

so, total no of girls = total no of student - total no of boys

= 40-24

=16 girls
