Question

Total number of the boys and girls in a class is 52. If the number of girls is 10 more than that of boys, find the number of boys and girls​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no of boys be x.

So no of girls = x +10

x+10+x = 52

2x+10 = 52

2x = 52-10

2x =42

x= 21

Answer 2

Answer:

let, the number of boys = x

so, the number of girls = x + 10

total number of boys and girls = 52. ( given)

therefore, we have , x+10+ x = 52

2x + 10 = 52

2x = 42

x = 21.

so,the number of boys = 21

and the number of girls = 21 + 10 = 31.
