Answer 2

Answer:

a) The number of girls is 144

b)Total number of students is 600

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 24% girls in a school.

So, percentage of boys = 100%-24% = 76%

Let the total number of students be x

Now we are given that the number of boys is 456.

So, $76\% \times x = 456$

$\frac{76}{100}x = 456$

$x = 456 \times \frac{100}{76}$

$x = 600$

Now number of girls =  $24\% \times 600$

                                  =  $\frac{24}{100}\times 600$

                                  =  $144$

a) The number of girls is 144

b)Total number of students is 600
