Answer:

45 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Remark
  • There are only 2 choices for gender. So if the class is 60% girls, the there must be 100 - 60 = 40% for the boys.
  • But we are told that the boys are 30 in number.
  • Let x = the total number of students.

Solution

  • 40/100 * x = 30              Change the % to a decimal
  • 0.4 x = 30                       Divide both sides by 0.4
  • 0.4 x / 0.4 = 30 / 0.4      Do the division
  • x = 30/0.4
  • x = 75 students in total

Formula

Total of Boys and Girls = Number of boys + number of girls.

Givens

  • Total = 75
  • Number of boys = 30

Solution II

  • 75 = x + 30                 Subtract 30 from each side
  • 75 - 30 = x +30 - 30
  • 45 = x
  • There are 45 girls in the class.
