Question

The strength of a school is 2000. If 40 % of the students are girls then how many boys are there in the school?

Answer 1

As per the given information in the question,

The strength of school = 2000

Percentage of girls in school = 40%

Percentage of boys in school = 100 – 40 = 60%

Number of boys in school = 60% of 2000

= ${\displaystyle \frac{60}{100}\times 2000}$

= 60 × 20

= 1200

Hence, number of boys in school is 1200.
