Answer:
7 boys.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total number of students in the school = 60
Total number of girls in the school = 33
Total number of students currently studying chemistry = 24
Total number of girls not currently studying chemistry = 16
<u>Question asked:</u>
How many boys are currently studying chemistry ?
Solution:
<u>Total number of girls in the school = 33</u>
Total number of girls not currently studying chemistry = 16
Total number of girls currently studying chemistry = Total number of girls in the school - Total number of girls not currently studying chemistry
Total number of girls currently studying chemistry = 33 - 16 = 17
Now:-
<u>Total number of boys and girls currently studying chemistry = 24</u>
Total number girls currently studying chemistry = 17
Total number of boys currently studying chemistry = Total number of boys and girls currently studying chemistry - Total number girls currently studying chemistry
Total number of boys currently studying chemistry = 24 - 17 = 7
Therefore, 7 boys are currently studying chemistry.
