Championship on primary school
A district championship for primary school pupils took place at an athletics stadium. They competed in four disciplines:
- long jump,
- high jump,
- 60 m run,
- 400 m run.
Peter counted from the stands the number of people present. Seventeen boys and 14 girls were at the long jump landing area, along with two judges. A total of 24 pupils took part in the high jump, with two more boys than girls, and three judges supervised the competition. For the 60 m run, the students were divided into 7 heats of five competitors each — 4 heats were all boys and the rest were all girls. There was one starter and one timekeeper. 26 competitors were preparing for the 400 m run.

b) How many competitors were there in total?
c) Were there more competitors in the jumping events (high jump and long jump) or in the running events (60 m and 400 m)? By how much?
d) Peter found that the number of competing girls equals the number of competing boys. How many boys ran the 400 m?
