Answer:

The number of girls participated in quiz is 40 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Total number of students took quiz = 100

Average score of 100 students = 76 points

The Average score of boys = 80 points

The Average score of girls = 70 points

Let The number of boys participated in quiz = b

Let The number of girls participate in quiz = g

Now, According to question'

Total number of students took quiz = number of boys participated in quiz + number of girls participated in quiz

Or, b + g = 100           ........A

<u>Again</u>

∵ Average score of 100 students = 76 points

∴ Total score of 100 students = 76 × 100 = 7600

So, Average score of boys × number of boys participated + Average score of girls × number of girls participated = Total score of 100 students

Or, b × 80 + g × 70 = 7600

Or, 80 b + 70 g = 7600             .........B

Now, Solving equation A and B

(80 b + 70 g ) - 70 ×( b + g ) = 7600 - 70 × 100

I.e (80 b - 70 b) + (70 g - 70 g) = 7600 - 7000

Or, 10 b + 0 = 600

∴  b = \dfrac{600}{10}

i.e b = 60

So, The number of boys participated in quiz = b = 60

Put the value of b into eq A

∵ b + g = 100

So, g = 100 - b

Or, g = 100 - 60

i.e g = 40

So, The number of girls participated in quiz = g = 40

Hence, The number of girls participated in quiz is 40 . Answer

How do you illustrate quadratic equation in one varible?<br>​
kvasek [131]

Answer:

A quadratic equation is an equation of the second degree, meaning it contains at least one term that is squared. The standard form is ax² + bx + c = 0 with a, b, and c being constants, or numerical coefficients, and x is an unknown variable. One absolute rule is that the first constant "a" cannot be a zero.
