There were 154 children enrolled in the Mary Computer School in 2022.
511 of the children were boys. Additional children joined the computer school in 2023. For every 5 boys who joined the computer school, 4 girls joined the computer school. If there was an equal number of girls and boys in 2023, how many girls joined the school in that year?

Change |
+ 5 u |
+ 4 u |
After |
70 + 5 u |
84 + 4 u |
Fraction of children who are girls
= 1 -
511 =
611 Number of boys at first
=
511 x 154
= 70
Number of girls at first
=
611 x 154
= 84
Boys who joined : Girls who joined
5 : 4
The number of girls and boys in the end is the same.
70 + 5 u = 84 + 4 u
5 u - 4 u = 84 - 70
1 u = 14
Number of girls who joined the school in that year
= 4 u
= 4 x 14
= 56
Answer(s): 56
