Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the mean number of coins for the girls is shown below:

Since there are 24 boys and 16 girls so the total children is 40

So the number of coins for all children is

= 40 × 11

= 440

And, the number of coins for all boys is

= 9 × 24

= 216

Now the mean is

= (440 - 216) ÷ 16 girls

= 14
