At a country concert, the ratio of number of boys to the number of girls is 2:7. If there are 250 more girls than boys, how many boys are at the concert?! PL I NEED HELP ASAP PRETTY SURE THIS IS BEING GRADED

100 boys at the concert

Step-by-step explanation:

When changing the ratio between the number of boys to the number of girls, it always has to be equivalent to the original ratio 2:7

So, convert the ratio 2:7 to a different ratio, but it still has to be equivalent to the ratio 2:7. By doing that, multiply both sides of the 2:7 ratio by 50:

  2   :   7

×50   ×50

To get:

100:350  ⇒  This ratio means that the ratio between the number of boys to the number of girls is now 100:350, but that’s okay to have because it’s still equivalent to the original 2:7 ratio.

So, using the new ratio 100:350, this means that there are 100 boys at the concert and 350 girls at the concert, and 350 is 250 more than 100 which proves what the question is asking. So there are 100 boys at the concert.
