    ratio of girls to boys is 9:5. If the average number of boys in classes A and B is 160, and the average number of girls is 150, find the total number of students in class B.
    A 480 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 470 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 490 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 460 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Number of girls in class A = (9/14) × 140 = 90
    Number of boys in class A = (5/14) × 140 = 50
    Number of boys in class B = 160 × 2 - 50 = 320 - 50 = 270
    Number of girls in class B = 150 × 2 - 90 = 300 - 90 = 210
    Total number of students in class B = 270 + 210 = 480
