Answer:

15 boys.

Step-by-step explanation:

A class constituting of boys and girls:

Has a total of 35 students.

The number of girls outnumber that of boys by 5.

Let the number of boys be x such that the number of girls is x + 5.

∴

x + x + 5 = 35

2x + 5 = 35

2x = 35 - 5 = 30

x = 30/2 = 15

So there are 15 boys and 35 - 15 = 20 girls.

*I believe you can now solve the second question.
