Question:

The sum of the number of boys and girls in a school is 150.  If the no. of boys is x, the number of girls becomes x% of the total number of students.  The number of boys is?

Options:

90

50

40

60

Correct Answer:

60

Explanation:

Boys + Girls = Total no. of students

x + x% × 150 = 150

x + \(\frac{x × 150 }{100}\) = 150

100x + 150x = 15000

250x = 15000

x =  \(\frac{15000}{250}\) = 60
