Question

There were 326 students at the high school dance. There were 24 more girls than boys. How many girls and boys attended?​

Answer 1

Answer: 151 boys and 175 girls

Step-by-step explanation: You subtract 24 from 326 to balance out the amount of boys and girls. Then you divide 302 (326 - 24) by 2 and you'll get 151. At this point there are 151 boys and 151 girls, so you need to add the remaining 24 girls; so you add 24 to 151 giving you 175 girls.

Answer 2

187 girls 139 boys

Explanation:

first you divide 326 by 2 to get 163, and then you add 24 to it to find how many girls and then you subtract 24 from it to find how many boys
