a school has 2500 pupils. when 52 boys and 1/9 of the girls are absent, the number of the boys present is equal to the number of girls. how many pupils does the school have ?

Let the number of boys be x

Data :

Total pupils = 2500

Absent no. of boys and girls = 52 and 1/9

Now,

Remaining no of pupils = 2500 - 52 ➝ 2448

Hence, the no. of girls absent = 1/9 of 2448 ➝ 272

Therefore,

Total no. of pupils absent = 52 + 272 ➝ 324

No. of pupils present = 2500 - 324 ➝ 2176

Henceforth, 2176 pupils are present
