Answer: there is no N in the equation
Step-by-step explanation:
We can multiply both the numerator and denominator by ANY number (as long as you multiply both the numerator and denominator by the SAME number) to get an equivalent fraction
examples would be 2/12 (numerator and denominator multiplied by 2)3/18 (by 3)
4/24 (by 4) etc.
The percent of boys in the class is 40% because 16 + 24 = 40 (the entire amount of kids) 16 / 40 = .4 then move decimal twice to the right for percentage which gives you 40%
The answer is 40%
