First case:
average of test score =70
number of students =p
total score of 'p' students = ( average of test score)*( number of students)
total score of 'p' students =70p
Second case:
average of test score =92
number of students =n
total score of 'n' students = ( average of test score)*( number of students)
total score of 'n' students =92n
total number of students = p+n
total average score =86
so, total score =86(p+n)
total score = total score of 'p' students +total score of 'n' students
now, we can simplify it
now, we can find p/n
