We are given 5 boys for every four girls. We could set up an equation and solve for x.

5x+4x=198
9x=198
x=22
now plug in x = 22 back for 5x to find the total number of boys
5(22) =110 boys
we could also let x = 22 for 4x to find the total number of girls (even though we're not asked to do this)
4(22) = 88 girls

Answer: x= 2.5, y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>I'm going to assume that these photocopies are proportional in relations to each other.</em></u>

If they're proportional, you can set up two proportions:

$1) \frac{x}{5} =\frac{3}{6} \\\\2) \frac{5}{y} =\frac{3}{6}$

And cross-multiply:

$1) 6x = 5*3 \\\\2) 3y = 5*6$

Then solved for x and y:

$1) 6x = 15\\x=\frac{15}{6} =\frac{5}{2} =2.5 \\\\2) 3y = 30\\y=\frac{30}{3} =10$
