There were 110 children enrolled in the Mary Gym School in 2023.
411 of the children were boys. Additional children joined the gym school in 2024. For every 4 boys who joined the gym school, 3 girls joined the gym school. If there was an equal number of girls and boys in 2024, how many girls joined the school in that year?

70 |
Change |
+ 4 u |
+ 3 u |
After |
40 + 4 u |
70 + 3 u |
Fraction of children who are girls
= 1 -
411 =
711 Number of boys at first
=
411 x 110
= 40
Number of girls at first
=
711 x 110
= 70
Boys who joined : Girls who joined
4 : 3
The number of girls and boys in the end is the same.
40 + 4 u = 70 + 3 u
4 u - 3 u = 70 - 40
1 u = 30
Number of girls who joined the school in that year
= 3 u
= 3 x 30
= 90
Answer(s): 90
