The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the information given and calculate the required values systematically. ### Step 1: Determine the total number of girls and boys The total number of students is 800. The ratio of girls to boys is 1:3. Let the number of girls be \( G \) and the number of boys be \( B \). From the ratio: \[ G : B = 1 : 3 \] This means: \[ G = \frac{1}{4} \times 800 = 200 \quad \text{(girls)} \] \[ B = \frac{3}{4} \times 800 = 600 \quad \text{(boys)} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the number of students in each school - **School B**: 25% of total students \[ \text{Students in B} = 0.25 \times 800 = 200 \] - **School D**: Given directly \[ \text{Students in D} = 110 \] - **School C**: 10% of total students \[ \text{Students in C} = 0.10 \times 800 = 80 \] - **School A**: The number of students in A is double that of D \[ \text{Students in A} = 2 \times 110 = 220 \] - **School E**: Remaining students \[ \text{Students in E} = 800 - (200 + 110 + 80 + 220) = 800 - 620 = 180 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the number of girls in each school - **School B**: 30% of students in B are girls \[ \text{Girls in B} = 0.30 \times 200 = 60 \] - **School D**: Half the number of girls in B equals the number of girls in D \[ \text{Girls in D} = \frac{1}{2} \times 60 = 30 \] - **School C**: Let \( x \) be the number of girls in C. 10% of students in A equals the number of girls in C. \[ 0.10 \times 220 = x \implies x = 22 \quad \text{(Girls in C)} \] - **School A**: Let \( y \) be the number of girls in A. The number of girls in A and E are equal. \[ \text{Girls in A} = y \] \[ \text{Girls in E} = y \] ### Step 4: Calculate total girls From the total number of girls: \[ G = 200 = \text{Girls in A} + \text{Girls in B} + \text{Girls in C} + \text{Girls in D} + \text{Girls in E} \] Substituting the known values: \[ 200 = y + 60 + 22 + 30 + y \] \[ 200 = 2y + 112 \] \[ 2y = 200 - 112 = 88 \implies y = 44 \] ### Step 5: Find the number of girls in each school - **Girls in A**: 44 - **Girls in E**: 44 - **Girls in B**: 60 - **Girls in C**: 22 - **Girls in D**: 30 ### Step 6: Calculate the percentage of girls in school D to the total number of students in school A We need to find the percentage of girls in school D compared to the total number of students in school A: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Girls in D}}{\text{Total Students in A}} \right) \times 100 \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{30}{220} \right) \times 100 \approx 13.64\% \] ### Final Answer The approximate percentage of the total number of girls in school D to the total number of students in school A is **approximately 14%**.
