Answer 1

Answer:

total number of students = 520

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of boys = b

and number of girls = g

given,

b:g = 8:5

=> b/g = 8/5

=> b = 8g/5

given, number of girls = g = 200

=> number of boys = b = 8g/5 = 8×200/5 = 320

total number of students = b + g = 320+200 = 520
