Question

There are 160 girls and 240 boys in a school

i. find the percent of girls in the school
ii. find the percent of boys in the school.​

Answer 1

girls = 40%

boys = 60%

Explanation:

Girls = 160

boys = 240

total students = 160+240

= 400

so,

percent of girls = (160/400)×100%

= (2/5)×100%

= 2×20%

= 40%

so,

percent of boys = 100% - 40%

= 60%
