Answer:
(a, b, c) = (30, 50, 55)
Step-by-step explanation:
If we rewrite the ratio of A to B so it has the same number of ratio units as in the ratio of A to C, we have ...
A : B = 3 : 5 = 6 : 10
A : C = 6 : 11
so ...
A : B : C = 6 : 10 : 11
The total number of ratio units is 27. They stand for 135 real units, so each one stands for 135/27 = 5 real units.
Multiplying the last ratio statement by 5, we find the lengths of each of the sides.
A : B : C = 6 : 10 : 11 = 30 : 50 : 55
The side lengths are (a, b, c) = (30, 50, 55).
Answer:
8763
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of students the college had last year. Then this year's enrollment is ...
... x - 3%·x = 8500
... x(1 - 0.03) = 8500 . . . . . collect terms
... x = 8500/0.97 ≈ 8762.89 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Enrollment last year was about 8763.
_____
Of course, you know 3% = 3/100 = 0.03.
I’m pretty sure it would be the third option, 162
