In a class of 25 students, 44% are boys. How many boys are there?

  • A. 10 boys
  • B. 11 boys
  • C. 9 boys
  • D. 13 boys
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the number of boys in the class, calculate 44% of 25 students. 44% of 25 is calculated as follows: 0.44 x 25 = 11 boys. Therefore, there are 11 boys in the class. Choice A, 10 boys, is incorrect as it miscalculates the percentage. Choice C, 9 boys, is incorrect as it is less than 11. Choice D, 13 boys, is incorrect as it is greater than the correct calculation.
