X/2+10 =40

X/2=40-10=30

X=30÷2=15girls

15+40= 55 total number of boys and girls

Answer 2

Answer:

boys= 40, girls=60

Step-by-step explanation:

let,

no. of boys be x

no. of girls be y

x= 1/2y + 10

x= 40

40= 1/2y + 10

y=( 1/2×10)+40

y= 20+40

y=60

number of girls = 60

now,

total number of boys and girls = 40+60

=100
