Girls rightwards double arrow space 3 over 7 cross times 1554 space equals space 666
After 30 days,
Girls = 666 + 30 = 696
Let x boys leave the school.
Now, according to the question
   fraction numerator 888 minus straight x over denominator 696 end fraction space equals space 7 over 6
rightwards double arrow space space fraction numerator 888 minus straight x over denominator 116 end fraction space space equals space 7
rightwards double arrow space space space 888 minus straight x space equals space 116 space cross times space 7 space equals space 812
rightwards double arrow space space space space straight x space equals space 888 space minus space 812 space equals space 76
