Your problem states that there are 8 more girls than boys. Your answer has 16 more girls than boys.

In a school of 230 students, half of the boys and two-thirds of the girls own at least one pet. A total of 95 students do not own any pet. How many boys and how many girls are there in the school?

To find the number of boys in the swimming pool, we need to use algebra. Let's assume the number of boys is 'x'. According to the given information, there are 8 more girls than boys. So the number of girls would be 'x + 8'.

The total number of kids in the swimming pool is 64, so the sum of boys and girls is equal to 64. We can write this as an equation:

x + (x + 8) = 64

Simplifying this equation, we get:

2x + 8 = 64

Subtracting 8 from both sides:

2x = 56

Dividing both sides by 2, we find:

x = 28

Therefore, there are 28 boys in the swimming pool.
