Verified answer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question, let's assume total students to be x

So according to the question,

45% of x = girls

Therefore, number of boys = 55% of x

Now, since it's given that number of boys = 440

Thus, 55% of x = 440

[tex]x = \frac{440}{55} * 100[/tex]

[tex]x=800[/tex]

Now, total students (x) in the school = 800

Thus, Number of girls = total number of students - number of boys

= 800-440

= 360 girls
