Answer:
In the classroom there are 16 girls and 20 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
The question in English is
In the ninth grade, 62.5% of girls and 80% of boys passed the mathematics course, while 87.5% of girls and 60% of boys passed the history course. Calculate the number of students in the classroom, if the total number of passes is 26 in both subjects
Let
x ----> total girls in the classroom
y ---> total boys in the classroom
we know that
mathematics course
[tex]0.625x+0.80y=26[/tex] -----> equation A
history course
[tex]0.875x+0.60y=26[/tex] ----> equation B
Solve the system of equations by graphing
Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs
using a graphing tool
The solution is the point (16,20)
see the attached figure
therefore
In the classroom there are 16 girls and 20 boys
