Answer:
Total students = 1240
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Number of boys: number of girls=11:9
......(1)
There are 124 more boys than girls i.e.
x = 124+y .....(2)
Put the value of x from equation (2) in equation (1). So,
9(124+y) = 11y
1116 +9y = 11y
1116 = 2y
y = 558
Put the value of y in equation (2).
x = 124+558
x = 682
Total students = x+y
= 682+558
= 1240
So, there are 1240 students at the school.
