Question

solve the equation:if 60%of students are boys and gorls are 460 find the total no of guys in school

Answer 1

Let the total number of students be x.
60%of x are boys
Therefore, remaining 40% are girls.
40/100×x=460
x=460×100/40
x=1150
Number of boys = 60/100×1150
=690

So, the total number of boys is 690.
Hope it helps.

Answer 2

40/100 ×x = 460
then x = 1150
no. of boys = 1150 - 460 = 690
