Daye 15. In a class of 40 students, the no. of In a class of the fifths of the number of givels is thre soys. Find the of boys in the class. boys. Jatal students \( =40 \) No. of boys \( =x \) No. of giales \( =y \) No. of girls \( =\frac{3}{5} \) of no. of boys \[ \begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow x+y=40 \\ \Rightarrow x=40-y \end{array} \] Now, \( x=\frac{3}{5} \) of \( y \) \[ \begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow 40-y=\frac{3}{5} y \\ \Rightarrow 40-\frac{3}{5} y+y \\ \text { (2) } 40=\frac{3 y+5 y}{5} \\ \text { ?? } \Rightarrow 40 \times 5=8 y \\ \Rightarrow 400 \times 5 * 40 \times 5=8 y \\ \begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow 200=8 y \\ \Rightarrow \frac{200^{25}}{8}=y \quad \Rightarrow y=25 \mathrm{ct} \end{array} \end{array} \]
