Question

there are 12% boys in a school . if the number of boys is 36 find the number of girls.

Answer 1

Hi ,

Let the total students in the school = x

i ) 12% of x = 36

( 12/100 ) × x = 36

x = ( 36 × 100 )/12

x = 300

ii ) Number of girls in the school

= x - number of boys

= 300 - 36

= 264

Therefore ,

Number of girls in the school = 264

I hope this helps you.
