Solution

Sure, let's break it down:

  1. We know that 30% of the 60 children were boys. To find out how many boys there were, we multiply 60 by 30% (or 0.30). That gives us 18 boys.

  2. We're told that 10 boys then went home. So, we subtract 10 from 18, which leaves us with 8 boys still at the playground.

  3. Now, we need to find out how many children are left at the playground in total. We started with 60 children, and 10 boys went home, so we subtract 10 from 60, which leaves us with 50 children.

  4. Finally, we need to find out what percentage of the remaining children were boys. To do this, we divide the number of boys (8) by the total number of children (50), and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage. That gives us 16%.

So, 16% of the remaining children were boys.
