60%-------> 18
40℅------>?
100%------>?

to find the answers first divide 18 by 60=0.3, now we know the number for 1%
now workout the 40% by multiplying it by 40%
0.3×40= 12
so the number of boys is 12
to find the total add the no. boys and girls.
12+18=30 so the total number of pupils is 30.

hope it helps
