Answer:
1240
Explanation:
Number of boys to a girl is
x:y= 11:9
9x= 11y
There are 124 more boys in the schooll than girls
x= 124+y
Substitute 124+y for x
9(124+y)= 11y
1116+9y= 11y
1116= 11y-9y
1116= 2y
y= 1116/2
y= 558
Number of girls is 558
The number of boys can be calculated as follows
= 558+124
= 682
Hence the total number of students is
= 682+558
= 1240
