Question

In a school number of boys is 40 more than number of girls. The total number of students is 540. Find the number of girls

Answer 1

Answer:

250

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of girls = x

so, number of boys = x + 40

total number of students=540

x+x+40=540

2x+40=540

2x=540-40

2x=500

x=500/2=250

hence, number of girls= 250

and

number of boys=250+40=290

Answer 2

Let the no. of girls be = g

So, no. of boys = g + 40

So,

g + g + 40 = 540

2g = 500

g = 250

So, the no. of girls is 250.
