Question

In a school 46% of the 300 students are boys. how many girls are in the class than boy?

Answer 1

138 of the students are boys, and 162 of them are girls. there are 24 more girls than boys.

Explanation:

multiplying a number by its percent as a decimal gets you the percent of that number

300 x .46 = 138 boys

now subtract that from the original 300 to get the girls

300 - 138 = 162 girls

lastly subtract the girls from the boys to get how many more girls there are than boys

162 - 138 = 24
