Ok, first we need to organize.
<span>14, 8, 23, 9, 11, 27, 22, 3, 17, 12, 29
</span>3, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 17, 22, 23, 27, 29.
First, we need to find the median, the or the middle, which is 14.
Now that we know the median is fourteen, we take away all numbers to the left of 14, including 14: 17, 22, 23, 27, 29. Now just find the median in this new set of numbers. This will give us our upper quartile, which is 23. Hope this helped, and don't forget to drop a like.
The two problems are almost identical: you have to set up a system, and then solve it.
In the first case, let 
and 
be, respectively, the number of girls and boys.
We know that 
(the number of girls in the Spanish Club is four more than twice the number of boys). Also, we know that 
(there are 61 students in total).
So, we have the system
We can use the first equation to substitute in the second
And then solve for :
For the second problem, let 
and 
be the number of pins knocked down by, respectively, Carrie and John. Just like before, we have the system
And you can solve it in the very same way we solved the previous one.
