Question

A math class is made up of 16 boys; the rest are girls. Sixty percent of the class is boys. How many students are in the math class?

Answer 1

26

16/60 = x/40
16*40= x*60
640=x*60
10.6=x

Since x represents the # of girls and you can't have .6 of a person, you'll have 10 girls.

10+16 = 26
