Answer 2

The number of points average per player is 384.r:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of boys = 8

Number of girls = 4

Average points of boys each = 12

So, total points of boys would be

$12\times 8=96$

Let the average points of girls each be 'x'

Total average points = 136

Total number of players = 12

So, total points = $136\times 12=1632$

According to question, it becomes,

$96+4x=1632\\\\4x=1632-96\\\\4x=1536\\\\x=\dfrac{1536}{4}\\\\x=384$

Hence, the number of points average per player is 384.
