1440, find the total strength of the class

Sanjari Kalantri · Accepted Answer

Dear Student,
Let the total strength of the class be x
 Then, since 36% of the students are girls, we have no
 of girls = 36x100
We are also given that no
 of boys = 1,440
∴ 36x100 + 1,440 = x⇒64x100 = 1,440 ⇒ x = 1,440 × 10064 = 2,250Therefore, there are 2,250 students in the class
