Question

In a school, $35$% of the students are girls and 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 students in the school = $x$

Number of boys = $910=65$%

Therefore,

$\frac{65}{100}\times x=910$

$x=\frac{910\times 100}{65}$

$x=1400$

Therefore, total enrollment in the school = $1400$

Number of boys + Number of girls = 1400

Let number of girls be y. Then,

$910+y=1400$

$y=490$

Therefore, number of girls = $490$
