Question

In a school, 35% of the student are girls the number of boys is 910. Find the number of girls in the school. Also, find the total enrollment in the school

Answer 1

let, total enrollment$=x$

So,

number of girls$=0.35x$

number of boys$=$ total $-$ girls

$=x-0.35x$

$=0.65x$

As,

$\begin{array}{c}0.65x=910\\ x=\frac{910}{0.65}=1400\end{array}$

number of girls$=0.35\left(1400\right)$

$=490$

Thus the number of girls$=490$ and total enrollment$=1400$
