5 0

Answer: 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of girls be x

Therefore, the number of boys will be: = x + 60

The ratio of boys to girls is 5:1. Using this and equating to the number of bits and girls will be:

5/1 = x + 60/ x

Cross multiply

5x = x + 60

5x - x = 60

4x = 60

x = 60/4

x = 15

Number of girls = 15

Therefore boys will be: = x + 60 = 15 + 60 = 75.

Total number of people = 15 + 75 = 80
