girls = 35%
no. of boys = 910
let the total students be x
% of boys = (100 - % of girls)
= 100 - 35
= 65%
now 65% of total students are boys
65 / 100 * x = 910
65x / 100 = 910
x = 910 * 100 / 65
x = 1400
total no. of students are 1400
now no. of girls = total students - no. of boys
= 1400-910
= 490
no. of girls = 490
no. of boys = 910
let the total students be x
% of boys = (100 - % of girls)
= 100 - 35
= 65%
now 65% of total students are boys
65 / 100 * x = 910
65x / 100 = 910
x = 910 * 100 / 65
x = 1400
total no. of students are 1400
now no. of girls = total students - no. of boys
= 1400-910
= 490
no. of girls = 490
