If 40% of pupils in a school are boys what percentage are girls?
100 - 40 = ________
100-40=60
That is not the answer
To find out the percentage of girls in the school, we can subtract the percentage of boys from 100%.
If 40% of the pupils in the school are boys, then the percentage of girls would be 100% - 40% = 60%.
So, 60% of the pupils in the school are girls.
