Answer 1

209 seats were used by men and boys. i took 45% of 380 which = 171. I subtracted that by 380 which = 209.

Answer 2

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

0.45 of the total seats were used by women and girls.

i.e. Remaining 0.55(1-0.45) of the total seats were used by men and boys.

Seats used by men and boys=55% of 380

                                               $= \dfrac{55}{100}\times 380\\\\ =209$

Hence, Seats used by men and boys is:

209

and the fraction of total number of seats used by men and boys(0.55) is greater than that of total seats used by women and girls(0.45).
