Question

In a school, there are 880 students in

total. If there is 20% more boys than
girls, find the number of boys and girls in the school​

Answer 1

400 girls.

480 boys.

Explanation:

If the number of girls is x then the number of boys is 1.2x, so we have:

x + 1.2x = 880

2.2x = 880

x = 880/2.2

= 400.

Girls = 400, boys = 1.2*400 = 480.
