Answer 2

• As per the data given in the question, we have to determine the percent of boys.

        Given data:- Number of students=600.

                              Number of girls=240.

        To find:-        Percent of boys=?

        Solution:-

• A percentage is a fraction of an amount expressed as a particular number of hundredths of that amount.

• It is denoted by $\% .1 \% means \frac{1}{100}.$

• We are using the unitary method to calculate the percentage of numbers.

• Fractions can be converted into percentages and vice-versa.

• Percentages are reversible.

         Therefore,

         Number of boys=$600-240=360.$

         Percentage of boys in the class=$\frac{Number\ of\ boys}{Total\ number\ of\ students}\times100.$

         $=\frac{360}{600}\times100\\=60\%.$

    Hence, the boys percentage will be $60\%.$
