There were 121 children enrolled in the Cindy Dancing School in 2017.
511 of the children were boys. Additional children joined the dancing school in 2018. For every 5 boys who joined the dancing school, 4 girls joined the dancing school. If there was an equal number of girls and boys in 2018, how many girls joined the school in that year?

Change |
+ 5 u |
+ 4 u |
After |
55 + 5 u |
66 + 4 u |
Fraction of children who are girls
= 1 -
511 =
611 Number of boys at first
=
511 x 121
= 55
Number of girls at first
=
611 x 121
= 66
Boys who joined : Girls who joined
5 : 4
The number of girls and boys in the end is the same.
55 + 5 u = 66 + 4 u
5 u - 4 u = 66 - 55
1 u = 11
Number of girls who joined the school in that year
= 4 u
= 4 x 11
= 44
Answer(s): 44
