Answer:
There are 525 boys in that school.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the number of students in that school are 1250 and 58% of them are female, therefore the percentage of the male is
⇒100% - 58% = 42%
To find how many boys are in that school, you multiply 1250 by 42%.
i.e.
=
= 4.2 × 125
= 525
∴ There are 525 boys in that school.
OR
You can find the number of boys there by subtract the product of 58% and 1250 by 1250.
i.e. Number of girls=
=
= 5.8 × 125
= 725
∴ The boys in that school are:
= 1250 - 725
= 525
∴ There are 525 boys in that school.
