Question

A high school graduating class is made up of 472 students. There are 116 more girls than boys. How many boys are in the​ class?

Answer 1

178 boys and 294 girls. Dab

Answer 2

There are 472 girls and boys combined. Subtract 116 from 472, then split this number in half.

472-116=356

356÷2=178

This means that each group has 178 people, but the girls side has 178+116.

Therefore, there are 178 boys in the class.
