There are 30% more boys than girls in a club. If there are 54 more boys than girls, how many kids altogether?

Question

Grazie, Gracias, Xie xie, Thank you! The answer is 414 :)

Answer 1

No. of girls = x
No. of boys = 1.3x

Total no. of kids = 2.3x

(1.3x - x) = 0.3x = 54
x = 54/0.3 = 180

Total no. of kids = 180*2.3 = 414

Answer 2

Let b the number of boys and g the number of girls in the club. We are given,

b = 1.3g (30% more is 130 for 100 and is same as 1.3)

Also b - g = 54

1.3g - g = 54

0.3 g = 54 or g = 54 X10/3 = 540/3 = 180

Number of girls is 180 and number of boys is 234. Total number of kids will be 234 + 180 = 414

Answer 3

there are 414 kids all in all.

30%=54
I devided 54 with 30 and multiplied it with 100 to get the total of girls w/c is 180 then added the 180 boys + the 54 more boys I get 414....I hope that was right...

Answer 4

Let the total number of girls be 100%.

30%= 54 (because it's 30% more= 54 more boys)
1% = 54/ 130
100% = 54/30 x 100 (54/ 3 = 18, 18 x 10= 180)
Therefore, 100%= 180
Total number of children= 180+ 54= 234 children altogether

Answer 5

let no of girls b x

30% more boys => y = x + .3x = 1.3x

54 more boys => y = x + 54
1.3x = x+54 => x = 180

Total = 180 +180 +54 = 414

Answer 6

30% more boys
b=1.3g
54 more boys
b-g=54 substitute 1.3g for b
1.3g-g=54
0.3g=54 divide both sides by 0.3
g=54/0.3=180 girls
b=1.3g=1.3*180=234 boys
total =180+234=414 kids in the club. Big club.

Answer 7

b = # boys
g = # girls

b - g = 54
b = 1.3g

1.3g - g = 54
.3g = 54
g = 54/.3 = 180
b = 1.3g = 1.3(180) = 234

Total number of kids = b + g = 180 + 234 = 414

Answer 8

180

Answer 9

30% is equal to 54
Therefore 100% would be = (54/30)*100
=180
Total kids = 180

Answer 10

30% represents 54boys
:.100% ----------54/30 *100 = 180 kids
