Boys : Girls
3 : 5
2 : 1
No boys left so, we combine the two ratios
3 x 2 = 6 (common multiples)
5 x 2 = 10
Ratio before any girl left - 6 : 10
2 x 3 = 6
1 x 3 = 3
Ratio after the girls left - 6 : 3
10 - 3 = 7
7 units represent the 84 girls who left
1 unit - 84 / 7 = 12
10 units (total amount of girls) - 12 x 10 = 120
