\r\n" );
document.write( "1.  Since forty percents of the students at the basketball club are girls, 60% are boys.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    So, you have this equation 0.6x = 72, where x is the total number of students at the basketball club.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    The solution of this equation is x =  = 120.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    Thus there are 120 students in the club.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2.  Hence, the number of girls is 120 - 72 = 48.\r\n" );
