Let's represent the information given and solve the problem step-by-step.
1. We know the total number of students present in class on that day:
[tex]\[
\text{Total students present} = 27
\][/tex]
2. Out of these, we know the number of girls present:
[tex]\[
\text{Girls present} = 16
\][/tex]
3. To find the number of boys present, we subtract the number of girls present from the total number of students present:
[tex]\[
\text{Boys present} = \text{Total students present} - \text{Girls present}
\][/tex]
Substituting the values, we get:
[tex]\[
\text{Boys present} = 27 - 16 = 11
\][/tex]
4. Additionally, we are given that 3 boys were absent on that day.
5. To find the total number of boys in the class, we add the number of boys present and the number of boys absent:
[tex]\[
\text{Total boys} = \text{Boys present} + \text{Boys absent}
\][/tex]
Substituting the values, we get:
[tex]\[
\text{Total boys} = 11 + 3 = 14
\][/tex]
Therefore, the number of boys present in class six that day was [tex]\( 11 \)[/tex] and the total number of boys in class six is [tex]\( 14 \)[/tex].
