a school has 300 students if the ratio of boys to girls is 31 to 44 how many more girls than boys are there in the school
:
Let x = the multiplier
then
31x = no. of boys
and
44x = no. of girls
:
Boys + girls = 300
44x + 31x = 300
75x = 300
x = 300/75
x = 4 is the multiplier
therefore:
44*4 = 176 girls
31*4 = 124 boys
----------------
dif: 52 more girls than boys
