Answer:

There are 102 girls and 136 boys and 238 juniors

Step-by-step explanation:

girls: boys: total

3         4      7

Multiply by x

3x        4x    7x

The ratio has to stay the same

We have 238 juniors.  That is our total

238 = 7x

Divide by 7

238/7 =7x/x

34 =x

Now we can figure out how many girls and boys since we know x

girls: boys: total

3x        4x    7x

3(34)   4(34)  238

102      136     238

There are 102 girls and 136 boys and 238 juniors
