To find the percentage of girls, we need to subtract the number of boys from the total number of pupils, and then divide that by the total number of pupils, and multiply by 100% to get the percentage.
Number of girls = Total number of pupils - number of boys
Number of girls = 300 - 99 = 201
Percentage of girls = (Number of girls / Total number of pupils) x 100%
Percentage of girls = (201 / 300) x 100%
Percentage of girls = 67%
Therefore, 67% of the pupils in the school are girls.
In a school of 300 pupils 99 are boys. What percentage are girls?
