Question

In a school there are 1200 students. if the number of boys is 720 find the percentage of girls.​

Answer 1

- total students: 1200

- total boys: 720

- total girls: 1200 - 720 = 480

To find the percentage of anything, you divide it by the total and multiply by 100:

480/1200 = 0.4

0.4*100 = 40

Therefore, the percentage of girls is 40%

Answer 2

40%

Explanation:

1200 - 720 = 480 (number of girls)

480/1200 = 0.4

0.4 * 100 = 40%
