Solve this:
Dear Student,
Let the number of candidates that appeared from school 3 be x
Average score of candidates of all schools =
Now,
Score of candidates in school 1 = Average Score * No. candidates
= 75 * 60
= 4500
Score of candidates in school 2 = 80*48
= 3840
Score of candidates in school 3 = 55 *x
= 55x
Score of candidates in school 4 = 50*40
= 2000
Therefore,
66 =
66 * (148+x) = 10340 + 55x
66*148 + 66x = 10340 + 55x
11x = 10340 - 66*148
x = 940 - 6*148
x = 940 - 888
x = 52
Regards
