Problem

A school has 500 students. 60% of them are girls. How many boys are there?

Solution

Step 1 :Convert the percentage of girls to a decimal: \(60\% = 0.60\)

Step 2 :Calculate the number of girls: \(500 \times 0.60 = 300\) girls

Step 3 :Subtract the number of girls from the total number of students to find the number of boys: \(500 - 300 = 200\) boys
