Question

A classroom has 57 students. If there are 19 girls in the class and the number of boys is 'x', find the value of 'x'.

• A. 28
• B. 23
• C. 38
• D. 41

Answer 1

The correct option is C 38

Given :
Number of boys = x
Number of girls = 19

Total number of students in the classroom = 57

We know,
$\text{Number of Boys + Number of Girls =}$
$\text{Total number of students in the classroom}$

By putting the values, we can write:

$\text{Boys}+\text{Girls}=\text{Total Students}$

$x+19=57$
$-19=-19$
$-------------$
$x=38$

∴ The number of boys in the class will be (x) = 38.
