Answer:
Number of girls in the school is 354.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of members = Total students + total number of staff members
= 864 +80
=944
Given out of total members [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] are boys.
We have to determine the number of girls in the school.
First we find the number of boys then subtract it from total number of members.
Number of boys = [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] of total number of member
[tex]=\frac{5}{8} \times 944[/tex]
[tex]=5 \times 118=590[/tex]
Thus, number of boys are 590
Thus, number of girls = total number of members - total number of boys
= 944 - 590
= 354
Thus, Number of girls in the school is 354.
