Question

In a class of 30 children, 60% are female. How many students are boys?

A) 6 students
B) 9 students
C) 12 students
D) 18 students

Answer 1

There are 12 male students in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of boys in the class, we need to subtract the number of girls from the total number of students. In this case, 60% of the class is female, so there are 0.60 x 30 = 18 female students. Therefore, there must be 30 - 18 = 12 male students in the class.
