Answer:

108 boys and 81 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

If B is the number of boys and G is the number of girls, then:

B + G = 189

B − G = 27

To solve, use substitution or elimination. In this case, I recommend elimination. Add the equations together:

2B = 216

B = 108

Therefore:

G = 81

So there are 108 boys and 81 girls.
