Answer:

In a class of 87 boys, there will be 29 girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Ratio

25 girls

75 boys.

Class size = 87 boys

Proportion

25 girls /75 boys = x / Class Size

Solution

Class size = 87 boys

25/75 = x / 87                  Multiply both sides by 87

25 * 87 / 75 = 87 x/ 87    Multiply 87 *25

2175 / 75 =  x                   Divide by 75

29 = x
