Answer 2

Given

• number of boys :- 60 % of the total number of students
• number of girls :- 14

To find

• the number of students in the class

Solution

If boys are 60 % of the total number of students then , girls will be 40 % of the total number of students !!

• The total number of students :- 100 %
• Let the total students be x
• Also , girls :- 14 ( 40 % of the total number of students )

We can say that ,

→ 40 % of x = 14

→ 40 / 100 × x = 14

→ x = 14 × 100 / 40

→ x = 1400 / 40

→ x = 35

Therefore , the total number of students are 35 !!
