110 The number of girls is the repeated identity. Make the number of girls the same. LCM of 3 and 10 is 30.
Number of pupils who do not wear glasses
= 3 u + 30 u
= 33 u
Total number of pupils
= 3 u + 27 u + 30 u + 40 u
= 100 u
Percentage of the pupils in the bird park who do not wear glasses
=
33100 x 100%
= 33%
Answer(s): 33%
