Claire's school organized a trip to Brazil. At first, the ratio of the number of girls to the number of boys who planned to participate in the trip was 8 : 5. On the day of registration, 56 boys decided to withdraw and 56 more girls decided to join in. In the end, the number of boys who participated became 25% of the total children for the trip. How many more girls than boys would visit Brazil in the end?

	Girls	Boys	Total
Before	8x4 = 32 u	5x4 = 20 u	13x4 = 52 u
Change	+ 7 u	- 7 u
After	3x13 = 39 u	1x13 = 13 u	4x13 = 52 u

25% = ²⁵₁₀₀ = ¹₄

Since 56 boys withdrew and another 56 girls joined, the total number of children  at first and in the end remains unchanged. Make the total number of children the same. LCM of 13 and 4 is 52.

Number of boys who decided to withdraw
= 20 u - 13 u
= 7 u

7 u = 56

1 u = 56 ÷ 7 = 8

Number of more girls than boys in the end
= 39 u - 13 u
= 26 u
= 26 x 8
= 208

Answer(s): 208
