Answer: boys = 3444 , girls = 4182
3444:4182
Step-by-step explanation:
14(246)= 3444
17(4182)= 4182
4182+3444= 7626
Answer: 3444 boys, 4182 girls
Let there be 14x boys and 17x girls. Then there are 31x total students. Since 31x = 7626, x = 246. Then there are 14(246) = 3444 boys and 17(246) = 4182 girls.
