Answers
Answer:
Number of girls are 20 and number of boys are 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the question,
Number of boys are 5 less than the number of girls.
Total students in the class = 35
Let x be number of girls
Number of boys in the class = x -5
Toal number of student = total girls + total boys
35 = x + ( x-5)
35 = x + x -5
35 = 2x -5
35 +5 = 2x
40 = 2x
x = 40/2 = 20
Number of girls = 20
Number of boys = 20 -5 = 15.
