Question

On a​ team, 8 girls and 5 boys scored a total of 82 points. The difference between the number of points scored by the 8 girls and the number of points scored by the 5 boys is 62. Each girl scored the same number of points and each boy scored the same number of points. Find the number of points scored by each girl and each boy.

Answer 1

Answer:

each girl got 7.75 points and each boy got 4 points

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not 100% sure I was a little confused but since it says the difference between the girls points and the boys points is 62 I thought that the total og the boys is 20 because 82 - 20 = 62. so 20/5 = 4. Thats what I got for the boys and for the girls you do 62/8 = 7.75. That is what I got for the girls.
