Answer:

37%

Step-by-step explanation:

35% of 55% is equal to the percent of boys on honor roll in the student body.

100 - 55 = 45%, which is the percent of girls in the student body.

40% of 45% is equal to the percent of girls on honor roll in the student body.

35% * 55% = 19.25%

40% * 45% = 18%

Adding them up, we get:

19.25 + 18 = 37.25%

Round it to the nearest percent.

37.25 --> 37%

Rounded to the nearest percent, 37% of the student body is on honor roll.
