x - the number of girls
y - the number of boys

[tex]x:y=7:4 \\ \frac{x}{y}=\frac{7}{4} \\ 7y=4x \\ y=\frac{4}{7}x[/tex]

The total number of students is 77.
[tex]x+y=77 \\ x+\frac{4}{7}x=77 \\ \frac{7}{7}x+\frac{4}{7}x=77 \\ \frac{11}{7}x=77 \\ x=77 \times \frac{7}{11} \\ x=7 \times 7 \\ x=49[/tex]

There are 49 girls in the student council.
