$$66\frac{2}{3}\% \to \frac{{ + 2}}{3}$$
\[\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {}&{1\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,:\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,2} \\ {{\text{Average}} \to }&{5a\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,:\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,3a} \\ {}&{\overline {\,\,5a + 6a = 3 \times 66\,\,} } \\ {}&{11a = 3 \times 66} \\ {}&{a = 18} \end{array}\]
Average of girls = 3a = 3 × 18 = 54
