Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Girls = boys - 3

girls / boys = 4/5

Substitute (boys - 3) in for girls

boys - 3 / boys = 4/5            Cross multiply

5(boys - 3) = 4* boys            Remove the brackets

5boys - 15 = 4boys               Subtract 5 boys from both sides.

-5boys          -5boys

- 15   = - boys                       Multiply both sides by - 1

15 = boys

Girls = boys - 3

girls = 15 - 3

girls = 12

Total 15 + 12

total = 27
