let us assume total number of students x
5/8 x + 480 = x
x - 5x/8 = 480
8x - 5x
________ = 480
8
3x = 3840
x = 1280
5/8 × 1280 = 160
5 × 160 = 800
no of boys in school = 800
5/8 x + 480 = x
x - 5x/8 = 480
8x - 5x
________ = 480
8
3x = 3840
x = 1280
5/8 × 1280 = 160
5 × 160 = 800
no of boys in school = 800
