Answer 2

Answer:

Boys = 1000, Girls = 800

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of girls = g

According to question,

number of boys = 200 + g

∴ 4 / 5 = g / (200+g)

4(200+g) = 5g

800 +4g = 5g

5g - 4g = 800

g = 800

Number of girls = 800

∴Number of boys = 800 + 200 = 1000

Proof: 800/1000 = 8/10 = 4/5
