Answer 1

160

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a linear equation with 2 variables.

let number of boys and girls be x and y respectively.

x+y=600

2.5x+2y=1390

solving these equations,

x=380 and y=220

therefore boys exceed girls by 160.

Answer 2

Answer:

number of boys will be 360 and number of girls will be 240

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of boys be a x

then the number of girls will be( 600 - x )

therefore X * 2.50 +( 600 - X) *2 = 1390
