Answer:
Let the total number of students be x
Now, percentage of girls = 60%
Percentage of boys = 100 - 60 = 40%
So, 40% of x = 18
⇒ 40/100 × x = 18
⇒ 2/5 × x = 18
⇒ 2x = 18 × 5
⇒ x = 90/2
⇒ x = 45
Hence, total number of students in the class is 45.

If girls are 60% then boys would be 100 - 60 = 40%.
Let total number of Students be x.
Then.
40% of x = 18
40x / 100 = 18
x = 45
So, total number of students are 45.
Hope it helps you.
