20% of the participants are girls and got a medal, and 33% of the girls got a medal.
<h3>What percent of the participants were girls who received medal?</h3>
First, we know that 40% of the participants were boys, so the other 60% were girls.
We know that 50% of the boys got a medal, so the percentage (in decimal form) of participants that are boys and got a medal is:
P = (0.4)*(0.5) = 0.2
So, 20% of the participants are boys and got a medal.
We know that the number of girls that got a medal is the same as the number of boys, then we also have that 20% of the participants are women who got a medal.
Then if the percentage of girls that got a medal is x (in decimal form), we must have that:
Q = (0.6)*(x) = 0.2
x = 0.2/0.6 = 0.33
x = 0.33
This means that 33% of the girls got a medal.
