Answer 1

Answer:

What percent of the school are girls? 55%

What percent of the school are boys? 45%

How many boys are there? 162

How many girls are there? 198

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of girls = 198

The percent of girls = 198/360 x 100% = 55%

The number of boys = 360-198 = 162.

The percent of boys = 162/360 x 100% = 45%.

Answer 2

Answer:

Part A)  

Part B)  

Part C)  

Part D)  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.

The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes

The event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in.

so

Let

x------> size of the event space

y------> size of the sample space

P=x/y

Part A) What percent of all children are girls?

we have that

y= 360 children

x=198 girls

substitute

p = 198/360 0.55

Find the percentage

0.55*100=55%

Part B) What percent of all children are boys?

we have that

y=360

x=360-198

substitute

p= 162/360=0.45

Find the percentage

0.45*100=45%

Part C) The number of girls is what percent of the number of boys?

we have that

y=162

x=198

substitute

p=198/162=1.22

Find the percentage

1.22*100= 122%

Part D) The number of boys is what percent of the number of girls?

we have that

y=198 girls

x=162 boys

substitute

p=162/198=0.8182

Find the percentage

0.8182*100=81.82%
