Question

in a group if there are 60% boys and 16 girls what are the number of the boys in the class in the group​

Answer 1

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: 100%-60%= 40%

= 40% of x = 16 (x is 1/10 of students in class)

= 4x/10= 16

= 4x= 160

=x = 40

= 60% of x= 6x/10

= 6x/10= 6X40/10

= 240/10= 24
