Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. A 20 person classroom is filled with 40% girls. If 5 new boys join the classroom, what is the new percentage of girls in the class?
User
The number of girls in the classroom is 20 * 40% = 8 girls. Before new boys join, the number of boys in the classroom is 20 - 8 = 12 boys. If 5 new boys join, the new number of boys is 12 + 5 = 17 boys and the new total is 20 + 5 = 25 total people. The new percentage of girls in the class is 8 girls / 25 total people = 32%.
The final answer: 32.
