Question

In a school containing 360 children, 198 are girls. What percent of all children are girls? What percent of the children are boys? The number of girls is what percent of the number of boys? The number of boys is what percent of the number of girls?

Answer 1

To find the percent of girls, divide the number of girls by the total number of children and multiply by 100. The percent of boys is found by subtracting the percent of girls from 100%. The number of girls as a percent of boys is found by dividing the number of girls by the number of boys and multiplying by 100. The number of boys as a percent of girls is found by dividing the number of boys by the number of girls and multiplying by 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent of children who are girls, divide the number of girls (198) by the total number of children (360) and multiply by 100:

Percent of girls = (198 / 360) x 100 = 55%

To find the percent of children who are boys, subtract the percent of girls from 100%:

Percent of boys = 100% - 55% = 45%

To find the number of girls as a percent of the number of boys, divide the number of girls by the number of boys and multiply by 100:

Number of girls as a percent of boys = (198 / (360 - 198)) x 100 = 140%

To find the number of boys as a percent of the number of girls, divide the number of boys by the number of girls and multiply by 100:

Number of boys as a percent of girls = (162 / 198) x 100 = 82%

Answer 2

The answer is actually 55%, 45%, 122.(2), and 81.82.
