Respuesta :
24+45+281+50=400
(45+n/400)×100=18
45+n=18×4=72
n=72-45=27
50-27=23.
hope it's correct
23 of the 50 children added were boys. The answer is 23 boys
Given that 24 boys, 45 girls and 281 adults are the members of a badminton club.
Total number of people as members of badminton = 24 + 45 + 281 = 350
Percentage of girls = girls/total number x 100
% of girls = 45/350 x 100
% of girls = 12.9%
If 50 more children join the club, and the number of girls is now 18% of the total number of members. Then, the new total number of members will be
New total members = 350 + 50 = 400
Let g = new added girls from the children
Percentage of girls = girls/total number x 100
18 = (g + 45) / 400 x 100
18/100 = (g + 45) / 400
cross multiply
0.18 x 400 = g + 45
72 = g + 45
make g the subject of formula
g = 72 - 45
g = 27 girls
To get the number of boys added, take 27 away from the 50 children. That is,
The number of boys added = 50 - 27 = 23 boys
Therefore, 23 of the 50 children added were boys
