If 60% of the students in a school are boys and the number girls 972, Find the number of boys are there in the school.

The correct answer is: 30%

Step 1 of 2:
Let’s say total number of Students in school is p.
Now,  given that 60% of the students in a school are boys.
Therefore, (100-60)% = 40% of the students are girls.
And given that the number of girls is 972.
So, 40% of p = 972
→ 0.4 × p = 972
→ p =  = 2430

Hence, total number of students is 2430.
Step 2 of 2:
#Boys + #Girls = #Students
→ #Boys = 2430 - 972 = 1458
Final Answer:
The number of boys in the school is-- 1458.
