5 u |
4 u |
Number of boys from Club U at first in percent
= 100% - 30%
= 70%
Number of boys from Club U at first
= 70% x 60
=
70100 x 60
= 42
Number of boys in Club T remains unchanged.
5 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 5 = 12
Number of boys from Club U in the end
= 4 u
= 4 x 12
= 48
Number of boys joined Club U
= 48 - 42
= 6
