Answer:

there will be a 60% chance that you will pick a boy

Explanation:

if you have 500 students in all that is 100% and so if there are 200 girls and 300 boys 200 girls stands as 20% of 100% and 300 boys stands as 60% of 100% and i got that by dividing 100 by 5 which is 20 and 3 times 20 is 60 and i hope this helped
