Answer:

170 more girls than boys

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A and C stand for the numbers of Adults (A) and Children (C).  Let B and G stand for the numbers of Boys(B) and Girls (G).

We learn that A = 38.

We also find that:

C = A + 360       [There were 360 more children than adults]

We can write that:  B + G = C  [the total children is the sum of B and G]

Then we are told that the ratio of the number of the boys to the number of girls was 2:7

B/G = 2/7 , or

2G = 7B

and we can write G = (7/2)B

We want to find (G-B)  [ How many more girls than boys were at the zoo?]

=============

C = A + 360

C = 38 + 360

C = 398

==========

B + G = C

B + G = 398

B + (7/2)B = 398

(7/2)B = 398

B = (398)*(2/7)

B = 113.7 or 114 [Round to nearest whole boy, out of courtesy]

G = 398 - 114 = 284

There are (284 - 114) = 170 more girls than boys at the zoo.
