Answers
Answer: 423
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the 3/5 th students of a school are boys
Let the total number of students in that school be x
ie, Total number of boys = 3x/5
Total number of girls = total number of students - total number of boys
= x - 3x/5
= 5x - 3x
5
= 2x/5
In the question it is given that there are 282 girls in that school
ie, 2x/5 = 282
ie, 2x = 282 × 5
= 1410
ie, x = 1410/2
= 705
∴The total number of boys = 3x/5
= 3 × 705
5
= 2115/5
= 423
