Answer: 1430 girls

Explanation:

In order to solve this we must take it step by step. So first things first. There are 12,481 people at this concert. If 8906 are adults we need to subtract to find out how many children there are. 12481-8906=3575. There are 3,575 children at this concert. Now if 3/5 of the children are boys then the other missing 2/5 must be the girls. There are a couple of ways to solve this but im going to go the direct route. multiply 3/5 by 3,575 to get 2,145 boys. Now if 2,145 out of 3,575 are boys then 3575-2145= 1430 girls

Let's sum up what we learned

1. 12,481 people are at a concert

2. 8906 adults are at this concert

3. 3,575 are children

4. 2145 are boys

5. Which means there are 1430 girls
