You have to be very careful how you set this up. For every girl (who counts as 1) there are 3 boys (who count as 3). The total number in the proportion is 3 + 1 =4. You are given a total, but that is both boys and girls. That's why you need the 4.
3/4 = x / 236 Cross multiply
4x = 3 * 236
4x = 708 Divide by 4
x = 708/4
x = 177
There are 177 boys at the school and 236 - 177 = 59 girls.
Answer: $ 48.46
Step-by-step explanation:
If the price of 50 Kg of coffee was 2422.99, what is the cost of 1 Kg of coffee?

21%
21%
22%
So it would be 21%, 0.21, 11/50, 2/9.
