In a school, 0.75 of the girls and 0.3 of the boys take part in charity work. There is an equal number of boys and girls who do not take part in charity work. If 456 children take part in charity work, how many less children do not take part in charity work than those who take part in charity work?

34 Girls that take part : Girls that do not take part = 3 : 1
0.3 =
310 Boys that take part : Boys that do not take part = 3 : 7
The number of boys who do not take part is repeated. Make the number of boys who do not take part the same. LCM of 1 and 7 is 7.
Number of children who take part in charity work
= 21 u + 3 u
= 24 u
24 u = 456
1 u = 456 ÷ 24 = 19
Number of children who do not take part in charity work
= 7 u + 7 u
= 14 u
Number of less children who do not take part in charity work than those who take part in charity work
= 24 u - 14 u
= 10 u
= 10 x 19
= 190
Answer(s): 190
