11 girls |
Number |

11 |
Value |
115 |
117 |
Total value |
1035 |
1287 |
Total number of girls after 2 more girls joined the group
= 9 + 2
= 11
New average height after 2 more girls joined the group
= 115 + 2
= 117 cm
Total height of 9 girls
= 9 x 115
= 1035 cm
Total height of 11 girls
= 11 x 117
= 1287 cm
Total height of Gabby and Erika
= 1287 - 1035
= 252 cm
Answer(s): 252 cm
