1. Total no. of girls from city A

= Total students from city A - Total boys from city A (assuming no other gender)

= 17/100 * 39000 - 82.8/360 * 12000

= 17 * 390 - 2760

= 6630 - 2760

= 3870

2. 75.6/360 * 12000 - (8.5/100 * 39000 - 75.6/360 * 12000)

= 756/18 * 120 - 85 * 39

= 42 * 120 - 3400 + 85

= 4200 +840 - 3400 + 85

= 1725

3. $\frac{0.15 * 39000 - 61.2/360 * 12000}{0.2 * 39000} * 100$

$= \frac{15* 390 - 2040}{78}$

$= \frac{6000 - 150 - 2040}{78}$

$=\frac{3810}{78}$

$\approx 49$

4. $\frac{82.8 - 72}{360} *12000$

$= 1080*120/360 = 360$

5. $\frac{0.26 * 39000 - 32.4/360 * 12000}{39000-12000} * 100$

$= \frac{26*390 - 1080} {27000}*100$

$= \frac{10400 - 260 - 1080}{270}$

$= \frac{932- 26}{27}$

$= \frac{906}{27}$

$= \frac{302}{9}$

$= 33.5$
