Answer:
60% of students are boys
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay first subtract 645-258 to get the amount of boys at the school
645-258=387
Now the ratio of boys to girls is
387:258
387/645×100 to get percentage of boys
put that in your calculator and you will get 60%
so there is 60% of middle school boys and
258/645×100 to get the percentage of girls
put it in the calculator and you will get 40%
so 60% boys and 40% girls
60% + 40% = 100%
