There are 384 seventh graders at MArk's school. If there are 48 more girls than boys, how many seventh grade girls are there?
Have you tried using algebra?
If the number of boys is G,
G + (G-48) = 384
Solve for G.
2G = 432
etc.
i need help on dis question.
If n x 2 = 28, then what does n equal

To find the number of seventh grade girls, we need to first determine the number of boys in Mark's school.
Let's set the number of boys in the seventh grade as "x." Since there are 48 more girls than boys, the number of girls in the seventh grade would be "x + 48."
According to the problem, the total number of seventh graders at Mark's school is 384. Therefore, the number of girls plus the number of boys should equal 384:
(x) + (x + 48) = 384
Simplifying the equation:
2x + 48 = 384
Subtracting 48 from both sides of the equation:
2x = 336
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
x = 168
So, there are 168 seventh grade boys in Mark's school. To find the number of girls, we'll substitute this value back into the equation:
x + 48 = 168 + 48 = 216
Therefore, there are 216 seventh grade girls in Mark's school.
