The total number of members at the school band is = 400
Total girls at the band = 220
How many more girls than boys were at there school band = ?
So, Expressed this calculation in the percentage first we have find the percentage of girls they were at the school band :
For calculate the percentage we apply the formula : Numbers of girls/Total numbers of school band * 100
220 / 400 * 100 = 55%
The percentage of girls at school band is 55 %
The percentage of boys at school band is : 100% - 55% = 45%
So , the 10% girls are more at school band then boys ( 55% - 45% = 10% )
