Answer 2

Given :

• In a school, 3/5 of the students are boys.
• Number of girls = 282 girls

To Find :

• Total number of boys in the school

Solution :

• Let the total number of students be x
• Let the total number of boys be 3x/5

According to the Question :

• Total Students - Numbers of boys = Girls
• x - 3x/5 = 282
• 5x - 3x/5 = 282
• 2x/5 = 282
• 2x = 282 × 5
• 2x = 1410
• x = 1410/2
• x = 705

So, Total Number of Students is 705

Now,

Finding the number of boys in the school :

• Total Students = Numbers of Boys + Number of Girls
• 705 = Numbers of Boys + 282
• 705 - 282 = Numbers of Boys
• 423 = Number of Boys

Therefore :

• Total number of Boys in the school is 423
