    11 yrs

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Mean = sum of ages/number of ages

    Let the age of the seventh girl be A

    Given the addition of the age of the seventh girl will make the mean of the ages be 13,

    So,

    13 = 17+8+12+15+15+13+A/7

    Add up the ages

    13 = 80 + A / 7

    Cross multiply

    80 + A = 13 x 7

    80 + A = 91

    Subtract 80 from both sides to isolate A

    80 - 80 + A = 91 - 80

    A = 11

    The age of the seventh girl is 11
