Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a class, 60% of the students are girls. If there are 30 boys, how many students are there in total?
Correct Answer: 75
  • Step 1: Understand that 60% of the students are girls, which means 40% are boys.
  • Step 2: Let the total number of students be represented by 'x'.
  • Step 3: Since 40% of the students are boys and we know there are 30 boys, we can write the equation: 0.4 * x = 30.
  • Step 4: To find 'x', we need to solve the equation. First, divide both sides by 0.4: x = 30 / 0.4.
  • Step 5: Calculate 30 divided by 0.4, which equals 75.
  • Step 6: Therefore, the total number of students in the class is 75.
