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?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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
