- A. 17
- B. 10
- C. 19
- D. 14
Check answer and explanation
Answer: 17
Explanation Total students = 27 Since 7 more girls than boys, let's represent the number of boys as x. Number of girls = x + 7 Total students = Boys + Girls 27 = x + (x + 7) Combine like terms: 27 = 2x + 7 Subtract 7: 20 = 2x Divide by 2: 10 = x Number of boys = 10 Number of girls = 10 + 7 = 17 Therefore: Total girls in the class = 17 Last verified on 06-03-2026
