Number of girls from Club T at first in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Number of girls from Club T at first
= 75% x 48
=
75100 x 48
= 36
Number of girls in Club S remains unchanged.
6 u = 48
1 u = 48 ÷ 6 = 8
Number of girls from Club T in the end
= 5 u
= 5 x 8
= 40
Number of girls joined Club T
= 40 - 36
= 4
