Question

In a School 35% of total Sum
of boys, if their are 500 girls in the
School. find the No. of boys​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

175 boys. 325 girls.

Here’s how I figured it:

I saw that 500 can easily be divided into 5 equal parts of 100. Percentages can be defined as “quantity per one hundred”. Therefore, 35% of 100 is 35. Knowing that, I can take:

35×5=175

This gives me the number of boys.

Then, I can just subtract 175 from 500 to get the number of girls (325).
