Question:

The ratio of the number of girls to the number of boys in a class is 4:3. If the number of girls is 8 more than boys, find the total number of boys and girls in the class.

Solution :

\underline{\bold {Given :}}

  • The ratio of the number of girls to the number of boys in the class = 4:3
  • The number of girls is 8 more than the number of boys.

\underline{\bold {To\:Find :}}

  • The total number of boys and girls in the class .

Let the total number of girls be 4x.

Then, the total number of boys = 3x

It is given that the total number of girls is 8 more than the total number of boys.

\therefore{4x=3x+8}

\implies 4x = 3x + 8 \\ \implies 4x - 3x = 8 \\ \implies x = 8

\implies Total  \: number  \: of \:  girls = 4 \times 8  \\\implies Total  \: number  \: of \:  girls  = 32

 \implies Total  \: number  \: of \:  boys = 3 \times 8 \\ \implies Total  \: number  \: of \: boys  = 24

\boxed {\green {\therefore{The\: total\:number\: of \:boys\:and\:girls\:in\:the\:class=32+24=56 }}}
