      whereas that by each girl were 88. If the number of boys is 50% more than the number of girls, then find the average score of each student.

      B 85.2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 87.2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 80.2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the number of girls = 2x.
      Thus, the number of boys = 3x. Total marks of boys = 3x ร— 80 = 240x
      Total marks of girls = 2x ร— 88 = 176x Total marks = 240x + 176x = 416x
      Total students = 2x + 3x = 5x Average = 416x รท 5x = 83.2
