Math Problem Statement
The total number of students in a school is 1650. 70% of the pupils are boys. How many girls are there in the school.
Solution
To determine the number of girls in the school, follow these steps:
-
Calculate the number of boys:
- 70% of the pupils are boys.
- Number of boys = 70% of 1650
-
Calculate the number of girls:
- Total number of students = 1650
- Number of girls = Total number of students - Number of boys
Thus, there are 495 girls in the school.
