Answer:

Part 1: 43.75%

Part 2: 44.07%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

(Pt.1) First, set up a ratio [tex]210/480[/tex]. Next, you use long division I got the percent 43.75. After that, you subtract 6 from the girls group, (because of them moving away and then more coming back.) and 2 from the boys group. Then, you subtract those from the school "population" and you get 472 as the final population. So then you set up another ratio, [tex]208/472[/tex]. I got a percent of 44.07% from that.
