Question:

The number of boys in a class is 45% of the total number of students in the class. If the number of girls in the class is 33, then what is the number of boys in the class?

Options:

27

21

30

24

Correct Answer:

27

Explanation:

Let total number of students = 100x

Number of Boys = 45% of 100x = 45x

Number of Girls = 100x - 45x = 55x

According to question ,

55x = 33

x = 0.6

Number of Boys = 45 × 0.6x  = 27
