Question

There are 1250 students in a school. 58% of them are female. How many are male?

Answer 1

There are 525 boys in that school.

Explanation:

Since the number of students in that school are 1250 and 58% of them are female, therefore the percentage of the male is

⇒100% - 58% = 42%

To find how many boys are in that school, you multiply 1250 by 42%.

i.e.
`(42)/(100) * 1250`

=
`(42)/(10) * 125`

= 4.2 × 125

= 525

∴ There are 525 boys in that school.

OR

You can find the number of boys there by subtract the product of 58% and 1250 by 1250.

i.e. Number of girls=
`(58)/(100) * 1250`

=
`(58)/(10) * 125`

= 5.8 × 125

= 725

∴ The boys in that school are:

= 1250 - 725

= 525

∴ There are 525 boys in that school.

Hope this helps!!!
