If the population increases 50 percent in 50 years, then 50 years ago it was 100 percent divided by 150 percent, which equals 2/3 what it is now. Two-thirds of 810,000 is 540,000--so that was the population in 1900. Fifty years before that (1850) it was 2/3 of 540,000, or 360,000.
Continue this way and here's what you get:
1950: 810,000
1900: 540,000
1850: 360,000
1800: 240,000
1750: 160,000

That leaves 2,700 - 1,044 = 1,656 for the sum of the girls' scores. There are 18 girls, so the mean of the girls' scores is 1,656 divided by 18, or 92.

None of these phrases are inscribed on the Memorial wall
Explanation: Various political groups and individuals have gotten a lot of milage out of the fact that the phrase pertaining to the right of the people to alter or abolish the government is omitted from the wall's inscription. The fact is that only 91 of the 1,339 words in the Declaration (not counting signatures), or 6.8 per cent of the document, are excerpted on the wall. There's no way you can fit the entire Declaration on the wall of this small, compact Memorial without badly desecrating its aesthetics. It's just that some folks have a thing for violent overthrow of the government and get all hot and bothered that the passage isn't there.

This is a variation on the Two-Trains Scenario. Population A is heading towards
B at the rate of 120 persons per year. And B is headed in the opposite direction at a rate
of 80 persons per year. They will "meet" when they erase the difference of
6,800 - 4,200 = 2,600:
120x + 80x = 2,600
200x = 2,600
x = 2,600 / 200
x = 13
The populations will be the same in 13 years.
