Suppose that the mean score of a class of 33 students was 80. The 15 male students in the class had a mean score of 68. What was the mean score for the 18 female students?
============================
Total points: 33*80
Total male points 15*68
----
Total female points: 18x
---------
Equation:
18x = 33*80-15*68
18x = 1620
x = 90 (average female score)
