110 The number of boys is the repeated identity. Make the number of boys the same. LCM of 3 and 10 is 30.
Number of students who wear glasses
= 27 u + 10 u
= 37 u
Total number of students
= 3 u + 27 u + 10 u + 10 u
= 50 u
Percentage of the students in the stadium who wear glasses
=
3750 x 100%
= 74%
Answer(s): 74%
