In one classroom their is about 25% people that are blonde, so in 6 classes with 20 people each their would be 30 blonde haired girls.

Step-by-step explanation: To find how many girls are blonde-haired, we'll have to subtract.

120 - 20 =

1. Subtract 0 by 0.

0 - 0 = 0

2. Subtract 2 by 2.

2 - 2 = 0

3. Since there isn't a number in the hundred's place, bring the 1 down.

Therefore, your answer is: 100. There are 100 blonde-haired girls.
