Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
To find the average number of boys who passed in 2024, calculate the number of boys for each school using the formula: Boys = Total Passed × (100% - % Girls).
School A: 550 × 56% = 308 School B: 640 × 60% = 384 School C: 560 × 55% = 308 School D: 800 × 52% = 416 School E: 840 × 45% = 378 School F: 750 × 64% = 480
Total boys passed = 308 + 384 + 308 + 416 + 378 + 480 = 2274. Average number of boys = 2274 ÷ 6 = 379.
