The average height of a class of students is 134.7cm. The sum of all the heights is 3771.6 cm. There are 17 boys in the class. How many girls are in the class?

1 answer

Mean = sum of scores/number of scores

134.7 = 3771.6/(x+17)

Solve for x. Hint: start by multiplying both sides by x+17.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
