Question

Answer 1

60% of girls in the class and number of boys are 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a class there are 40% of boys.

Percentage of girls = 100 - 40 = 60%

Number of girls = 24

Total number of students in class = x

60% of x = 24

=> $\frac{60}{100}\times x = 24$

=> 60x = 24 x 100 = 2400

=> x = $\frac{2400}{60}$ = 40

Number of boys in a class = 40 - 24 = 16

Hence, 60% of girls in the class and number of boys are 16.
