Question

In a school, 3/5
of the total students are girls , if the number of girls is
120 more than that of the boys , what is the strength of the school ?
How many boys are there ?

Answer 1

Answer:

200 and 80

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total no of student = x

no of girls = 3/5 of x  

accurate no of girls = 120

according to question

3/5 *x =120

x = 120 * 5 /3

x = 40 * 5

x = 200

so total students = x = 200 , no of boys = 200 - 120 = 80
