Answer is : 76 Explanation : Let the number of boys & girls be 3x and 2x. Number of those who are not scholarship holders $=(\text{80% of 3x} + \text{70% of 2x})$ $= \frac{12x}{5} + \frac{7x}{5}$ $= \frac{19x}{5}$ Required Percentage $= \frac{19x}{5} * \frac{1}{5x} * 100\% = 76%$ Nithin K ? answered Nov 20 '2016 at 19:15 All Comments
