Answer:
52 more girls
Explanation:
The ratio of boys to girls =31 : 44
Total number of students in the school = 300
Therefore:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Number of boys}=\frac{31}{31+44}\times300 \\ =\frac{31}{75}\times300 \\ =124\text{ boys} \end{gathered}[/tex]Similarly:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Number of girls}=300-124 \\ =176\text{ girls} \end{gathered}[/tex]The difference is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 176-124 \\ =52 \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, there are 52 more girls than boys in the school.
