Answer:

The total number of girls are 360

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the total children in school

If 45% of the total students are girls

55% of the total students are boys

If the number of boys is 440

55x/100 = 440

x = 440 x 100 /55 = 800

(There are two ways to do this the first one is)

45% are girls

45x/100 = 45 x 800 / 100 = 360

The total number of girls are 360

Another way is

Subtract the total number of student 800 by the total number of boys 440

800 - 440 = 360

The total number of girls are 360

Hope it helps!! Mark this answer as brainliest if u found it useful and follow me for quick and accurate answers...

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of girls be x.

It is given that 45% of the students are girls.

then,

Percentage of Boys = 100 - 45

                                = 55 %

It is given that there are 440 boys.

∴The no of boys is given by  440/x * 100 = 55

x = 440/55 * 100

x = 800

∴The no of girls = 800 - 440

         = 360
