I think you have a typo and you must mean that there were 104 African pupils, then
total number of boys --- x
total number of girls --- 121-x
(8/9)x + (4/5)(121-x) = 104
times 45 to clear fractions
40x + 36(121-x) =4680
40x + 4356 - 36x = 4680
4x = 324
x = 81 <---- total boys
and 40 total girls
<b>So of the 81 total boys (8/9) of them or 72 were African</b>
(and 32 of the 40 girls were African)
check:
40+81 = 121
72+32 = 104
total number of boys --- x
total number of girls --- 121-x
