Answer:
21.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there were five teams entered in a competition, and each team consisted of either only boys or only girls, with the number of team members being 9, 15, 17, 19 and 21 members, if after one team of girls had been knocked out of the competition, the number of girls still competing was three times the number of boys, to determine how many girls were in the team that was eliminated, the following calculation must be performed:
9 + 15 + 17 + 19 = 60/4 = 15
9 + 15 + 17 + 21 = 62/4 = 15.5
9 + 15 + 19 + 21 = 64/4 = 16
9 + 17 + 19 + 21 = 66/4 = 16.5
15 + 17 + 19 + 21 = 72/4 = 18
Thus, since 15 x 3 equals 45, and 45 plus 15 equals 60, the number of girls on the team that was eliminated was 21.

Answer: $2400</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
x = Mason's salary in dollars for that month
x/6 = one-sixth of his salary
x/6+800 = total amount spent (the x/6 dollars and $800 combined)
In total, he spent half his salary. This means he spent x/2 dollars for the month overall.
Set the two items equal to one another. Solve for x.
x/6 + 800 = x/2
6(x/6 + 800) = 6*(x/2) ... see note at the bottom of the page
x+4800 = 3x
4800 = 3x-x
4800 = 2x
2x = 4800
x = 4800/2
x = 2400
His monthly salary is $2400
1/6 of this is (1/6)*2400 = 2400/6 = 400 dollars. Add on the $800 he also spent to get a total of 400+800 = 1200 dollars spent, which is exactly one half of the $2400. The answer is confirmed.

Note: I multiplied both sides by 6 to clear out the fractions. The value 6 is the LCD in this case.
