7 wonderlic Practice questions for Carrington College Assessment
1.Set 1: A physical education class has three times as many girls as boys.
During a class basketball game, the girls average 18 points each, and the class as a whole averages 17 points per person. How many points does
each boy score on average?: 0.75*18 + 0.25*X = 17 (0.75*18= 13.5),
(0.25*x= 0.25x), Subtract: (17-13.5=3.5), Divide: (3.5/0.25 =14), X = 14, so the boys average 14 points per game.
