Question

In a class 44% are girls .If the number is of girls is 6 less that of boys find the number of boys ,girls and the whole class

Answer 1

Answer: Total students = 50; Girls = 22, Boys  = 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of Girls = 44%.

Percentage of Boys = 100 - 44 = 56%.

We are given difference girls are 6 less than boys, which means difference between number boys and number of girls is 6.

This should equal the difference between their percentages i.e 56%-44% = 12%.

So 12% of total students = 6 i.e. => 12/100 = 6

Hence total students = 6*100/12 = 50.

Number of girls = 44*50/100 = 22.

Number of Boys = 56*50/100 = 28.
