16 Girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of boys.

Let y be the number of girls.

So we know that:

y = 2x

y + x = 24

We can get the answer through substitution. Since we know that y = 2x, we can insert that into our second equation by replacing the y with the equation we came up with for y in the first equation.

With that, we insert that answer into our first equation:

y =2x

y = 2(8)

y = 16

So there are 16 girls.
