Question
The strength of a school is 2000. If 40 % of the students are girls then how many boys are there in the school?
Solution
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
= `60/100 xx 2000`
= 60 × 20
= 1200
Hence, number of boys in school is 1200.
