The ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls in a school is 4:5 there are 95 girls in the school work out the total number of students in the school

X=number of boys

y=number of girls

(x+y) = number total of students

We can suggest the following system or equations:

x/y=4/5

y=95

Therefore:

x/95=4/5

x = (4*95) / 5=76

(x+y) = 76+95=171

Answer: there are 171 students in this school.

The answer to this question is 167
