20% of the participants are girls and got a medal, and 33% of the girls got a medal.

What percent of the participants were girls who received medal?​

First, we know that 40% of the participants were boys, so the other 60% were girls.

We know that 50% of the boys got a medal, so the percentage (in decimal form) of participants that are boys and got a medal is:

P = (0.4)*(0.5) = 0.2

So, 20% of the participants are boys and got a medal.

We know that the number of girls that got a medal is the same as the number of boys, then we also have that 20% of the participants are women who got a medal.

Then if the percentage of girls that got a medal is x (in decimal form), we must have that:

Q = (0.6)*(x) = 0.2

      x = 0.2/0.6 = 0.33

x = 0.33

This means that 33% of the girls got a medal.
