Answer:

43.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

A school has 726 students.

Boys = 340

Girls = 726 - 340 = 386

Percentage of girls = 386 / 726 × 100

= 43.1680

= 43.2%

To calculate the percentage of girls in a school with 726 students given that there are 340 boys, subtract the number of boys from the total, find the number of girls, then calculate the percentage, resulting in approximately 53% girls.

To find the percentage of students who are girls, subtract the number of boys from the total number of students to get the number of girls. Then, divide the number of girls by the total number of students and multiply by 100 to find the percentage.

  1. Total students = 726
  2. Number of boys = 340
  3. Number of girls = 726 - 340 = 386
  4. Percentage of girls = (386 / 726) x 100 ≈ 53%

Therefore,the percentage of the students are girls is 53%.
