Answer 2

Answer:

The percentage of the short girls = 40 %

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given data of the question,

Total number of girls in a class = 52

60 % are tall girls, that is

$60 \% \ of \ 52 \ =\frac{60}{100} \times 52$

                                 = 31.2

Since the number of girls are only possible in integer,

Therefore,

Number of tall girls are approximately = 31

Let the number of short girls are = x

So,

x + 31 = 52

⇒x = 21

That is number of short girls are = 21

The percentage of the short girls are given as:

$\% \  of \ short \ girls = \frac{21}{52} \times 100$

                                        = 40.38 %

                                        ≈ 40 %

Hence, the percentage of the short girls = 40 %
