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? |
90 50 40 60 |
60 |
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 |
