If 56 percent of students are girls then 44 percent of the students are boys.
We need to solve to see what number 110 is 44 percent of.
110/x = 44/100
cross multiply
11000=44x
divide both sides by 44
x=250
that is the total number of students
now we have to subtract 110 from 250
there are 140 girls
