Answer:

66 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens:

●120% boys of girls

▪︎1.2 × g

☆when g is the number of girls

●80 boys

▪︎meaning you can set up a proportion

Solving:

g × 1.2 = 80

g=80/1.2

g=66.66

So, since you can't go over percent, the answer is 66.

Checking:

g × 1.2 = 80

66 × 1.2 = 80

80=80✅
