Answer 2

Answer: There are 1,536 girls in the school.

Explanation:

52% of 3,200 is 1,664 so you would subtract 1,664 from 3,200, giving you 1,536.

You can solve this by multiplying .52 by 3,200 and then subtracting 1,664 from 3,200

Or you can subtract .52 from 1, giving you .48 or 48% You would then multiply .48 by 3,200, which gives you 1,536.
