Answer 2

The number of boys is 33.

Given,

Rs. 460 was divided among 41 boys and girls such that each boy got Rs. 12 and each girl got Rs. 8.

To Find,

What is the number of boys?

Solution,

We can solve the question as follows:

It is given that Rs. 460 was divided among 41 boys and girls such that each boy got Rs. 12 and each girl got Rs. 8. We have to find the number of boys.

Let the number of boys be x. Then, the number of girls will be (41 - x).

$Number\: of\: boys = x$

$Number\: of\: girls = 41 - x$

If each boy got Rs. 12, x number of boys will get:

$Money\: received\: by\: x\: boys = 12x$

If each girl got Rs. 8, (41 - x) number of girls will get:

$Money\: received\: by\: (41 - x)\: girls = 8(41 - x)$

According to the question,

$12x + 8(41 - x) = Rs.\: 460$

We will solve the above equation and find the value of x.

$12x + 328 - 8x = 460$

$4x = 460 - 328$

$4x = 132$

$x = \frac{132}{4} = 33$

Hence, the number of boys is 33.
