Solution

Let's break this problem into manageable parts to calculate the number of students who cycle to school.


Step-by-step solution:

  1. Total Students:

    • There are 100 students in total.
  2. Number of Girls and Boys:

    • 42 are girls, so the remaining 10042=58100 - 42 = 58 are boys.
  3. Students Taking the Bus:

    • There are 20 students who take the bus.
    • Among these, 9 are girls, so the remaining 209=1120 - 9 = 11 are boys.
  4. Students Walking:

    • 35 boys walk to school.
    • Since 35 boys walk, the total number of boys cycling or taking the bus is 5835=2358 - 35 = 23.
  5. Students Cycling:

    • 19 girls cycle to school.
    • To find the total number of students cycling to school:
      • Total students cycling = Total students - (Students walking + Students taking the bus)
      • 100(35+20)=45.100 - (35 + 20) = 45.
    • Since we know 19 girls cycle to school, the number of boys cycling is:
      • 4519=26.45 - 19 = 26.

Final Answer:

The number of students who cycle to school is 45.
