There are 500 students in school. 40% of them are boys and the rest are girls. What is the percentage of girls? And find the number of boys and number of girls in the school​

Sagot :

okay so the percentage of girls is 60%. in order to find the number you put
? = 60%
500 = 100%
then cross multiply, 500 * 60 is 30,000, divided by 100 is 300, there are 300 girls and 200 boys in the school. the percentage of girls is 60%
