Question

There are 856 students in a school.if the number of girls is 204 more than boys.how many boys and girls are there in the class

Answer 1

》Heya! here is your answer~

let the number of boys be x.

so, the number of girls=204+x

a/q,

204+x+x=856

2x=856-204

2x=652

x=326

thus no. of boys=326.

& no. of girls=326+204=530.

hope it helps!!!!!

Answer 2

Let the no. of boys be x therefore the no. of girls will be x+204. Adding x + x +204 = 856 or 2x = 652 or x= 326. Therefore no. boys are 326 and girls is 530
