[tex]\underline{\mathbb{SOLUTION:}}[/tex]

- Let x be the number multiplied to each part of the ratio and equate to the total number of pupils in a class.

  • [tex]3x + 2x = 30[/tex]

  • [tex]5x = 30[/tex]

  • [tex] \frac{ \cancel5x}{ \cancel5} = \frac{30}{5} \\ [/tex]

  • [tex]x = 6[/tex]

- Since we are looking for the boys pupils, substitute the value of x to the ratio of the boys.

  • [tex]Boys = 3x[/tex]

  • [tex]Boys = 3(6)[/tex]

  • [tex]Boys = 18[/tex]

[tex]\therefore[/tex] There are 18 boys in a class.
