Answer:11

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys : girls=7:1

Sum of ratio=7+1=8

Let them number of girls be y

Then they number of boys=y+66

Total number of pupils=y+y+66

Total number of pupils=2y+66

Number of girls=(girls ratio)/(sum of ratio) x (total number of pupils)

y=1/8 x (2y+66)

Cross multiply

y x 8=2y + 66

8y=2y + 66

Collect like terms

8y-2y=66

6y=66

Divide both sides by 6

6y/6=66/6

y=11

The number of girls is 11

Out of 30 questions, Ahmad answer 12 of them incorrectly. What percent of the questions did he answer correctly?
kati45 [8]
First, you would need to determine how many questions he got correct. 
30 - 12 = 18

Next, you would need to create an equation for this problem. Let x represent the unknown percentage. 
\frac{18}{30} = \frac{x}{100}

Now, you would cross multiply. 
30x = 1,800

The last step would be to isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides of the equal sign by 30. 
x = 60

Ahmad got 60% of the questions correct. 

I hope this helps!
