Question

There are 540 students in a school. If the number of girls is 52 more than the number

of boys, then find the number of boys in the school.​

Answer 1

Let the number of boys be x
So the number of girls be x+52
Now
x+x+52=540
2x=540-52
2x=488
x=244 ( no of boys )
x+52=296 (no of girls)

Answer 2

Answer:

The number of boys = 244

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boys = x

⇒The number of girls= x + 52

Total number of students = 540

⇒Number of boys + Number of girls = 540

⇒ x + x + 52 = 540

⇒ 2x + 52 = 540

⇒2x= 540 -52

⇒2x= 488

⇒x= 488 ÷ 2

⇒x= 244

∴The number of boys = 244

⇒The number of girls= x + 52

                                   = 244 + 52

                                   = 296
