In a school of 750 students, 320 are girls. 559 students do some kind of sport. If 101girls do no sport, how many boys also do no sport?

559 students do some kind of sports, therefore:

750 - 559 = 191

students do no sports

if 101 girls do no sports then:

191 - 101 = 90

boys also do no sports

Did you know that we can use simple arithmetic to determine the number of boys who do not participate in any sports in a school? In a school with 750 students, 320 are girls and 439 are boys (750 - 320 = 430). We also know that 559 students do some kind of sport. If 101 girls do not participate in any sport, we can subtract this number from the total number of girls (320 - 101 = 219) and thus determine that 219 girls do participate in sports. By subtracting the number of sporting girls from the total number of students who do sports (559 - 219 = 340), we find that there are 340 boys who participate in sports. Finally, by subtracting the number of sporting boys from the total number of boys (430 - 340 = 90), we can conclude that 90 boys also do not participate in any sport.
