Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

86%

Step-by-step explanation:

30 students in the class with a mean average of 70% can be expressed as:

total class percent / 30 = 70%

Rearranged, this gives that the class achieved a total of 30x70 or 2100%.

20 boys in the class with a mean average of 62% can be expressed as:

total boys percent / 20 = 62%

Rearranged, this gives that the boys achieved a total of 20x62 or 1240%.

This means that the girls achieved 2100 - 1240 so 860%.

Because there are 30 students and 20 boys, there are 10 girls.

Then work out the mean with a total of 860% and 10 girls.

860/10 = 86%.
