Two-fifth of the students in a mixed school are girls. If there are 150 boys in that school, what percentage are girls?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two-fifth is 40%.

That is all you need to know to answer the question.

The info about 150 boys is excessive and it is not needed for the solution.
