There were 209 children enrolled in the Ivory Computer School in 2020.
411 of the children were girls. Additional children joined the computer school in 2021. For every 4 girls who joined the computer school, 3 boys joined the computer school. If there was an equal number of boys and girls in 2021, how many boys joined the school in that year?

133 |
Change |
+ 4 u |
+ 3 u |
After |
76 + 4 u |
133 + 3 u |
Fraction of children who are boys
= 1 -
411 =
711 Number of girls at first
=
411 x 209
= 76
Number of boys at first
=
711 x 209
= 133
Girls who joined : Boys who joined
4 : 3
The number of boys and girls in the end is the same.
76 + 4 u = 133 + 3 u
4 u - 3 u = 133 - 76
1 u = 57
Number of boys who joined the school in that year
= 3 u
= 3 x 57
= 171
Answer(s): 171
