There are 30 students in class
Solution:
Let "x" be the total number of students in class
Given that,
The number of boys represents 54% of the class
Therefore,
Number of boys = 54 % of total number of students
Number of boys = 54 % of x
[tex]\text{Number of boys } = \frac{54}{100} \times x\\\\\text{Number of boys } = 0.54x[/tex]
Given that, There are 14 girls in a class
Therefore,
Number of girls = 14
Thus we get,
Number of boys + number of girls = total number of students
0.54x + 14 =x
x - 0.54x = 14
0.46x = 14
Divide both sides by 0.46
[tex]x = 30.43 \approx 30[/tex]
Thus there are 30 students in class
