136 |
146 |
Total value |

1314 |
Total number of girls after 2 more girls joined the group
= 7 + 2
= 9
New average height after 2 more girls joined the group
= 136 + 10
= 146 cm
Total height of 7 girls
= 7 x 136
= 952 cm
Total height of 9 girls
= 9 x 146
= 1314 cm
Total height of Tiffany and Lynn
= 1314 - 952
= 362 cm
Answer(s): 362 cm
