7 girls |
9 girls |
Number |
7 |
9 |
Value |
149 |
155 |
Total value |
1043 |
1395 |
Total number of girls after 2 more girls joined the group
= 7 + 2
= 9
New average height after 2 more girls joined the group
= 149 + 6
= 155 cm
Total height of 7 girls
= 7 x 149
= 1043 cm
Total height of 9 girls
= 9 x 155
= 1395 cm
Total height of Erika and Nicole
= 1395 - 1043
= 352 cm
Answer(s): 352 cm
