There were 275 children enrolled in the Mary Acting School in 2020.
511 of the children were boys. Additional children joined the acting school in 2021. For every 5 boys who joined the acting school, 4 girls joined the acting school. If there was an equal number of girls and boys in 2021, how many girls joined the school in that year?

+ 5 u |
+ 4 u |
After |
125 + 5 u |
150 + 4 u |
Fraction of children who are girls
= 1 -
511 =
611 Number of boys at first
=
511 x 275
= 125
Number of girls at first
=
611 x 275
= 150
Boys who joined : Girls who joined
5 : 4
The number of girls and boys in the end is the same.
125 + 5 u = 150 + 4 u
5 u - 4 u = 150 - 125
1 u = 25
Number of girls who joined the school in that year
= 4 u
= 4 x 25
= 100
Answer(s): 100
