Question

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP On a test, the average score of 25 boys and 15 girls is 68 points. The average test score of the boys is 62 points. What is the average score of the girls? SHOW YOUR WORK

Answer 1

74

Explanation:

The average score of boys and girls is 68 and boys is 62

Think of it as an equation (62 + x)/2 = 68, where x is the average score of girls

First multiply each side by 2 making the equation 62 + x = 136

Now subtract each side by 62, which will make the average score for girls 74

(x = 74)
