$\bf\green{giveN:}$

• total strength of school = 1650
• percentage of girls = 24% of 1650

$\bf\green{To\:finD:}$

• first need to find the number of girls
• then number of boys.

$\bf\pink{number\:of\:girls=}$

➡️ 1650 × 24/100

➡️ 165×24/10

➡️ 3960/10

➡️ 396

• therefore number of girls is 396

$\bf\pink{❥number\:of\:boys=}$

➡️ total strength - number of girls

➡️ 1650 - 396

➡️ 1254

• therefore number of boys is 1254
