statistics/Maths question

23 girls have a mean height of 153cm
17 boys have a mean height of 165cm
work out the mean of all 40 children?

How do I work this out?? Someone please explain step by step
Use the combined mean formula which should be in textbook
(23 x 153)+(17 x 165) then divide by 40

Correct!... I think. At least that's what I'd do.
