Question

There are 24% of boys in a school. If the number of girls are 456, find the total number of students in the school.

Answer 1

Answer: 600

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 24% of boys in a school , this means that the number of girls will be :

100% - 24 %

= 76%

That means there are 76% of girls in the school.

Let the total number of students in the school be x, this means that

24% of x = number of boys

76% of x = number of girls

Since the total number of girls is given to be 456 , then

76% of x = 456

0.76x = 456

x = 456/0.76

x = 600

That means there are 600 students all together in the school

Answer 2

Answer:

600 students

Step-by-step explanation:

100% - 24% = 76%

76% = 456

100%= x

76x = 456x100

x = 45600÷76

x= 600 students (total)
