Answer 1

740 total students, 481 total girls

Explanation:

Let x be the total number of students and y be the total number of girls

x -

You know that 35% of the students is 259 students. If you convert this into algebra, you can write : 0.35x = 259, after simplifying, you know that x = 740.

y-

You know that 35% of the students are boys, so 65% must be girls. You can say that 65% of x is y and write the equation 0.65(740)=y. After simplifying, you can see that y = 481.
