Can y’all help me on my last practice problem

If 40% of the students are girls then that means 60% of the students are boys.

First, turn 60% into a decimal.

60% = 0.6

Second, divide by the number of boys.

36 / 0.6 = 60 total students

Third, turn 40% into a decimal.

40% = 0.4

Fourth, multiply by the total number of students.

60 * 0.4 = 24 girls

Best of Luck!
