Hi! I'm Julia Nae and I need help in this question: In a class of 50 students, 19 are girls. What percent of the class are boys?
Pls. Just answer this quickly because I really need this tomorrow (Jan.22,2018). I'm living in the Philippines and tomorrow is this date so pls answer this as fast as you can...tnx
number of boys = (50 - 19)
percent = 100 (50-19) / 50
31 are boys
so, 31/50 are boys. Just turn that into a %
Hi Julia! I can definitely help you with that question. To find out the percentage of boys in the class, we first need to determine the number of boys in the class. We know that there are 50 students in total, and 19 of them are girls.
To find the number of boys, we subtract the number of girls from the total number of students:
Number of boys = Total number of students - Number of girls
Number of boys = 50 - 19
Number of boys = 31
So, there are 31 boys in the class.
To calculate the percentage of boys, we divide the number of boys by the total number of students and multiply by 100:
Percentage of boys = (Number of boys / Total number of students) x 100
Percentage of boys = (31 / 50) x 100
Percentage of boys = 0.62 x 100
Percentage of boys = 62
Therefore, 62% of the class are boys.
I hope this answers your question! Let me know if you need any further assistance.
