Answer 1

Answer

The answer is 300

Step by step explanation

Let the total number of students be x

Number of girls in a school. 1950

Number of boys in a school 2/15

Therefore,

Number of boys=2/15of x

Therefore,total number of students

=2/15x+1950=x

2x+29250/1=x

2x-15x=29250

-13x=29250

x=29250/13

x=2250

Therefore,total number of students is 2250

So ,

the number of boys is

total number of students-number of girls

No. of boys=2250-1950=300

Therefore,total number of boys is 300
