Question 63
The number of boys in a class is 45% of the total number of students in the class. If the number of girls in the class is 33, then what is the number of boys in the class?
Solution
Let's assume the total number of students in the class is 100y.
The number of boys in a class is 45% of the total number of students in the class.
number of boys in a class = 45% of 100y
= 45y
If the number of girls in the class is 33.
number of girls in the class = (100y-45y) = 33
55y = 33
5y = 3
y = 0.6
Number of boys in the class = 45y
= $$45\times0.6$$
= 27
