There are 285 seventh-graders at Greg's school.
If there are 19 more girls than boys, how many seventh-grade boys are there? How many girls are there?

Respuesta :

Answer:

124 boys and 161 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 285 students total. Divide 285 by 2, you get 142.5. Since you can't have half a student, lets round it up to 143. Now, there are 19 more girls than guys, so you would subtract 19 from 143. When you do that, (143-19) you get 124. Then you take 285 and subtract 124. You get 161.

Hope this is correct!

Okay.....let me show my explanation:
285 total students - 19 more girls than boys = 266 boys and girls
266 boys and girls divided by 2 genders = 133 boys and girls
133 boys in total
133 + 19 more girls than boys = 152 girls in total
Check answers:
133 boys + 152 girls = 285 total students
Final answer:
There are 133 seventh grade boys and 152 seventh grade girls
