Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if 54% were boys, then the other 46% were girls

the numbers of babies are in the same proportion as the percentages

35 / 54% = x / 46%

there appears to be a rounding error in your "answer"; the correct value is 30
