In a school 3/7of them are girls .If there are 240 boys find the number of girls in the school

Answer»

Here is your answer---

Let the number of Students in a school be x.

THUS,Number of Girls = 3/7 of the TOTAL Students

                                  = 3/7 of x

                                  = 3x/7

We know,

        Number of Boys + Number of Girls = Total Students.

           240 + 3x/7 = x

            240 = x - 3x/7

             240 = (7X - 3x) /7                       [Taking L.C.M.]

         240 × 7 = 4x

           x = 60 × 7

           x = 420

Total number of Students in a school is 420.

Thus, Number of Girls = 3/7 × x

                                   = 3/7 × 420

                                   = 90 

Thus, the number of Girls in a school is 90.

Hope it HELPS.
