In a class, there are (74) students. Three times the number of boys plus twice the number of girls is (186). What is the number of girls?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 36

Let the number of boys be \(x\) and the number of girls be \(y\). Then \(x+y=74\) and \(3x+2y=186\). Multiplying the first equation by 2 gives \(2x+2y=148\). Subtracting this from the second equation gives \(x=38\). Hence, \(y=74-38=36\). Therefore, the correct answer is 36. Option 38 is the number of boys, not girls. Exam tip: In such questions, multiply the total-number equation suitably to eliminate one variable quickly.
