Answer:

52% of them are girls

Explanation:

  • We know there are 150 children in the nursery and 72 of them are boys
  • We have to find out how many girls are there and the percentage of girls
  1. To find out the number of girls we subtract the number of boys from the total number of children which is 150 - 72 which is 78 meaning there are 78 girls in the nursery
  2. To find the percentage of girls you divide 78/150 then you multiply by 100 so 78/150 is 0.52 multiply by 100 is 52. The percentage of girls in the nursery is 52%
