Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys : Girls = 7 : 8

Let the number of boy = 7x

The number of girls = 8x

Number of boys after 20% increase = 120% of 7x

                                                            = 1.2 * 7x

                                                             = 8.4 x

                               

Number of girls after 10% increase = 110% of 8x

                                                           = 1.1 * 8x

                                                           = 8.8x                    

After increase in number of boys & girls = 8.4x : 8.8x

                      = 84 : 88    { reduce to simplest form by giving by 4th table}

                     = 21 :  22

PLS ANSWER QUICK I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
NISA [10]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we are decreasing the number so it has to be a decrease.

Next, we divide 7/31 and get around 0.23, which also represents 23 percent.

This only shows that 7 is 23 percent of 31, so we need to find the decrease by seeing the difference of 100 and 23.

We get 100 - 23 = 77, and because it is a decrease we get B.
