Question

In a certain school,there are 456girls.Calculate the total number of students

if 24%o
f the total students are boys.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the no. of students be X.

Boys = 60% of X .

So Boys = (60/100)*X.

So left 40% of students are girls and it is given they are 14.

So total students X= total boys + total girls.

X = (60/100)*X+14.

X - (60/100)*X = 14.

(40/100)*X = 14.

X = (14*100)/40.

X = 35.
