7 |
Value |
135 |
139 |
Total value |

973 |
Total number of girls after 2 more girls joined the group
= 5 + 2
= 7
New average height after 2 more girls joined the group
= 135 + 4
= 139 cm
Total height of 5 girls
= 5 x 135
= 675 cm
Total height of 7 girls
= 7 x 139
= 973 cm
Total height of Winnie and Jen
= 973 - 675
= 298 cm
Answer(s): 298 cm
