Question

There are 1200 students in a school. 51.5% of them are male. How many are female

Answer 1

To determine the number of female students, subtract the percentage of male students (51.5%) from 100% to get the percentage of female students (48.5%), and then multiply this by the total student population of 1200. There are 582 female students.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the number of female students in a school with 1200 students where 51.5% of them are male, you subtract the percentage of male students from 100% to determine the percentage of female students. In this case:

• 100% - 51.5% = 48.5%

Next, calculate the number of female students:

• 48.5% of 1200 = 0.485 x 1200 = 582

So, there are 582 female students in the school.
