The number of boys in each school can be calculated as:
Number of Boys = Total Students - Number of Girls
School P:
480 - 120 = 360
School Q:
456 - 216 = 240
School R:
550 - 150 = 400
School S:
670 - 390 = 280
School T:
644 - 324 = 320
So,
School | Total Students | Number of Girls | Number of Boys |
---|---|---|---|
P | 480 | 120 | 360 |
Q | 456 | 216 | 240 |
R | 550 | 150 | 400 |
S | 670 | 390 | 280 |
T | 644 | 324 | 320 |
Calculations:
Total number of boys in Q and R = 240 + 400 = 640
From the table:
School T:
Number of girls = 324
Difference = Total boys in Q and R - Number of girls in T = 640 - 324 = 316
The percentage difference is calculated as:
Percentage Difference = Difference / Number of Girls in T× 100
Percentage Difference = 316 / 324× 100 ≈ 97.53%
Thus, the total number of boys in schools Q and R together is approximately 97.53% more than the number of girls in school T.
