Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

of the students in the school, 108 are girls....and 45% of the students are girls

let x represent the total students (boys and girls)

so 45% OF the total students IS 108.....

turn ur percent to a decimal

" of " means multiply and " is " means equals

so just write it like u read it....

0.45x = 108...divide both sides by 0.45

x = 108 / 0.45

x = 240 <==== total students
