Answer 2

Answer:

The desired answer is 176. This means there are 176 more boys than girls in Sri Chaitanya High School.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given number of total students is 1584.

According to further information, 4÷9 students are girls.

Let the number of girls be x.

By simple mathematics, we get :

x = (4÷9)×1584

x = 4×176

x = 704

Now, for number of boys = Total number of students - Total number of girls. Hence,

No. of boys = 1584 - 704

                   = 880

No. of boys more than girls = Total No. of boys - Total No. of girls

                     = 880 - 704

                     = 176

176 is the required answer.
