Deacon Middle School
5x = number of boys
4x = number of girls
where x is some unknown number for now

(number of boys)+(number of girls) = 270 students total
5x+4x = 270
9x = 270
x = 270/9
x = 30

Since x = 30, this means
number of girls = 4x
number of girls = 4*30
number of girls = 120

There are 120 girls at Deacon Middle School

-----------------------------------------

Similarly, for Meadow Middle school
number of boys = 4y
number of girls = 5y
for some number y

(number of boys) + (number of girls) = 180 students total
4y+5y = 180
9y = 180
y = 180/9
y = 20

making,
number of girls = 5*y
number of girls = 5*20
number of girls = 100

so there are 100 girls at Meadow Middle School

-----------------------------------------

In summary so far, there are...
120 girls at Deacon Middle School
100 girls at Meadow Middle School
In total 120+100 = 220 girls from both schools

This is out of 270+180 = 450 students total

Divide the two values (220 and 450) to get
220/450 = 22/45

The final answer is 22/45
It cannot be reduced further as there are no common factors (other than 1) between 22 and 45

bazaltina [42]
When you want to find a percent of a number you do this:
given number/ 1   multiplied by   percentage/100

so in this question its a multiple step 

start with finding 25 percent of 4250 which is= 1062.5
so thats how much the discount is so the amount after the 25% discount is:
4250-1062.5= 3187.5

then you have to add 9% due to fees
so you find 9% of 3187.5 which is= 286.875
so you add 286.875 to 3187.5 gives you= 3437.375 in total cost for the vacation package
