There are 40 students in a class. There are 4 more boys than girls. How many girls are in the class?

3 answers

Let the number of girls be x
Then boys = x+4
Total number of students= 40= x+x+4

2x+4=40
2x= 36
x= 18
number of girls= 18
40 divided by 2 equals 20
20+4=24
24=boys
40-24=[16]

NUMBER OF GIRLS= 16
Actually I am wrong, Praphul is right.

NUMBER OF GIRLS= 18
