49 boys were present at small tree intermediate school on Friday
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of Fourth graders at the Small Tree intermediate school =96
Number of Girls= 43
Number of girls absent on Friday= 5
Number of boys absent on Friday= 4
To find:
Number of fourth grade boys on Friday=?
Solution:
Let the number of boys be x
Then
Total number of students = Number of girls + Number of boys
=>96= 43+ x
=> 96 - 43=x
=> x=53
So, the total number of fourth grade boys = 53
On Friday, 4 boys were absent
So,
No of boys present on Friday= total number of boys - boys absent on Friday
No of boys present on Friday = 53-4
No of boys present on Friday = 49
