Answer:  52 boys

==================================================

Explanation:

g = number of girls

g+26 = number of boys because there are 26 more compared to girls

The ratio of boys to girls is 2:1, meaning g+26 is twice as large compared to g

number of boys = 2*(number of girls)

g+26 = 2g

26 = 2g-g

26 = g

g = 26

There are 26 girls and g+26 = 26+26 = 52 boys. Note how 52 is double that of 26.
