In a class, there are 54 students. 33 $$\frac{1}{3}$$ % of the number of students are boys and rest are girls. The average score in mathematics of boys is 50% more than that of the girls. If the average score of all the students is 70, then what is the average score of the boys?
Number of student in class = 54Â
number of boys = $$33\dfrac {1}{3}of student = \dfrac{100}{3\times 100} \times 54 = 18$$
then number of girls = 54-18 = 36Â
Let Average score of girls =$$ 10x$$
and average score of boys =$$ \dfrac {10x \times150}{100} = 15x $$(according to question)Â Â
average score of all student =Â 70Â
total score of 54 = $$54 \times70 $$ =3780Â
total score of boys = $$18\times 15x = 270x $$
total score of girls =$$36\times10x = 360x  $$
according question $$ 270x +360x =3780$$
$$\Rightarrow x = 6 $$
Average score boy = $$15\times$$ = 90 Ans.
