Answer 2

Answer:

the total number of boys in the school are 480.

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of students in the school = x

percentage of which are boys = 60%

total number of girls =320

percentage of girls in school = 40%

according to the question,

320*100/x=40

32000/x = 40

x=32000/40

x=800

total number of boys = total students -  total girls

                                   = 800 - 320

                                   =  480
