The school has 25 more female students than males. How many ... 25 to 165 = 190 girls. To check your answer add 190 + 165 and you get 355.
To determine the number of female students in the school, we can start by assigning a variable to represent the number of male students. Let's call it 'x'.
We're given that the school has 25 more female students than males, so the number of female students can be represented as 'x + 25'.
Now, we need to find the total number of students in the school. This can be calculated by adding the number of males and females together:
Total number of students = Number of males + Number of females
Total number of students = x + (x + 25)
Next, we're given that the total number of students in the school is 355. So we can set up the equation:
355 = x + (x + 25)
To solve for x, we can simplify the equation:
355 = 2x + 25
Subtracting 25 from both sides:
330 = 2x
Dividing both sides by 2:
x = 165
Now that we know the number of male students, we can substitute this value back into the equation to find the number of female students:
Number of females = x + 25 = 165 + 25 = 190
So, there are 190 female students in the school.
