Question

In a class of 60 students in an online test, where girls are twice the number of boys, Mellisa ranked 27th from the top. If
there are 9 boys ahead of Mellisa, how many girls are there after her rank?​

Answer 1

Answer:

22

Explanation:

Let the number of boys be x

Then number of girls = 2x

∴ x+2x=60

3x = 60

 x = 20

So number of boys =20 and number of girls = 40

Number of students behind Mellisa in rank

(60-27) =33

Number of boys ahead of Mellisa in rank =9

Number of boys behind Mellisa in rank =(20−9)=11

∴ Number of girls behind Mellisa in rank = (33−11) = 22
