boy count is 1476

There is an important difference between the way counts are viewed in ratio to that in fractions.
The ratio of boys : girls
→
4
:
5
so you have 4 boys and 5 girls making the whole count
4
+
5
=
9
in its simplest form.
So to change the ratio proportion into fraction proportion we have:
boys
→
4
9
of the whole.
girls
→
5
9
of the whole.
It is given that the whole is 3321 therefore the count of boys is:
4
9
×
3321
=
1476
