First you have to multiply 1,500 by 65%. A way to do that is 1,500 x 65 and then divide by 100.
So 1,500 x 65 is 97,500.
97,500 divided by 100 is 975.
The final answer is that there are 975 girls in the school.
-12+3b-1=-5-b
Combine like terms to get:
3b-13=-5-b
Add 13 to both sides:
3b= 8-b
Add b to both sides:
4b=8
Divide both sides by 4:
4b/4=8/4
b=2
Final answer
b=2
11.5% × 350 =
(11.5 ÷ 100) × 350 =
(11.5 × 350) ÷ 100 =
4,025 ÷ 100 =
40.25
