Please help me answer this riddle. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
25% of 48% is 0.25 times 48% = 12%. Unless there is a significant number of transgender students that don't count in either category, you can say that since 48% of the whole are girls, 52% must be boys. 50% of 52% is 0.5 times 52% = 26%. 26% and 12% is 38%.
