Question

In my class 55 percent of the kids are girls. Whats the percentage are boys?

Answer 1

Hi there!

The answer is : 45% of your class are boys.

Here's why :

55% are girls, so in order to have 100%, you need 45%.

100 - 55 = 45

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

Answer 2

45%

Explanation:

The total is 100%, so the difference is boys.

percentage boys = 100% - percentage girls

... = 100% - 55%

... = 45%
