For this question I have used Number x Value. Depending on what you have learnt, you could leverage other methods as this is a little more complicated with Number X Value if you do not know how to multiple the 100 - u.

1 boy 3 buns
3 girls 1 bun
1 boy 3 girls total 4 buns
4 buns 4 person
100/4 = 25
25 set of 4
in each set of 4 is 1 guy 3 girls
1x25 = 25 guys 3x25 = 75 girls
25+ 75 = 100

check:
counting the number of buns
25x3 = 75 75/3 = 25
75+25 = 100
so the answer is 25 boys and 75 girls
