Question
There are 336 girls at a concert. The ratio of girls to boys at the concert is 4 to 5. How many total girls and boys are at the concert.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that there are 336 girls at a concert and the ratio of girls to boys at the concert is 4 to 5.

We have to find the total number of girls and boys are at the concert.

Since, the ratio of girls to boys at the concert is 4 to 5

Let the total number of girl is 4x and total number of boys is 5x.

Sine, given there are 336 girls at a concert

4x=336x=3364x=84

Hence, x=84

So, total number of boys is 5×84=420
