For \"n\" scores \"average=sum%2Fn\"
\n" ); document.write( "For the \"20\" girls the sum of the scores was \"sum%5Bg%5D\" and
\n" ); document.write( "\"85=sum%5Bg%5D%2F20\" --> \"sum%5Bg%5D=85%2A20=1700\"
\n" ); document.write( "For the class, the sum of the \"30\" scores is \"sum%5Bc%5D\",
\n" ); document.write( "and the average is \"80\"=\"sum%5Bc%5D%2F30\" --> \"sum%5Bc%5D=80%2A30=2400\"
\n" ); document.write( "Since \"sum%5Bc%5D\" is the sum of the boys' scores, \"sum%5Bb%5D\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "plus the sum of the girls' scores
\n" ); document.write( "\"sum%5Bb%5D%2B1700=2400\" --> \"sum%5Bb%5D=2400-1700\" --> \"sum%5Bb%5D=700\"
\n" ); document.write( "The average for the boys is the sum of their scores divided by the number of boys:
\n" ); document.write( "\"700%2F10=highlight%2870%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
