1. **Stating the problem:** In a class, there are girls and 30 boys. 28 boys pass, all girls pass. The total passing students are 95% of the class. Find the number of girls and boys in the class.
2. **Formula and rules:** Let the number of girls be $g$. Total students = $g + 30$.
Passing students = girls (all pass) + 28 boys = $g + 28$.
Given passing students are 95% of total students:
$$g + 28 = 0.95(g + 30)$$
3. **Solving the equation:**
$$g + 28 = 0.95g + 28.5$$
Subtract $0.95g$ from both sides:
$$g - 0.95g + 28 = 28.5$$
$$0.05g + 28 = 28.5$$
Subtract 28 from both sides:
$$0.05g = 0.5$$
Divide both sides by 0.05:
$$g = \frac{0.5}{0.05}$$
$$g = \cancel{\frac{0.5}{0.05}} = 10$$
4. **Answer:** There are 10 girls and 30 boys in the class.
5. **Verification:** Total students = $10 + 30 = 40$.
Passing students = $10 + 28 = 38$.
Percentage passing = $\frac{38}{40} \times 100 = 95\%$ which matches the problem statement.
