Answer:

5% = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 10% of a number is 16, multiply that by 10 to get 160. In order to get 5%, divide 10% (16) by 2 to get 8, which is 5% of 160.

at a party at the middle school over on third avenue next to the bank, $60\%$ of the students are seventh graders. these student

Vaselesa [24]

There are 600 students including the seventh and eighth graders at the party.

This problem uses the concept of percentages to define the conditions that are laid in front of us.

Let the original number of students be S , and the number of seventh graders be = 0.60S

We know that percent is used to convey the mathematical term of a fraction multiplied by 100.

Total students after 20 eighth graders arrive = S + 20

And we have that

Number of seventh graders / total number of students = 58%

.60S / [ S + 20 ] = .58 we multiply both sides by S + 20

0.60S =0 .58 [ S + 20]

.60S = .58S + 11.6 we subtract 0.58S from both the sides

0.02S = 11.6 we divide both the sides by .02

S = 11/6 / 0.02 = 580

So the total number of students = 580 + 20 = 600 .

Hence there are 600 students at the party at that time.

Answer:

Length of the room is 180 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a rectangular room with dimensions:

width = 70 ft and length "x" (unknown)

Perimeter of a rectangle is 2*w + 2*x and according to problem statement 500 ft of lights will fit exactly in room perimeter then:

2*70 + 2*x = 500

140 + 2*x = 500

2*x = 500 - 140

2*x = 360

x = 360/2

x = 180 ft

Doss [256]

Answer: a) 11,238,513 and b) 292,201,338

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of white balls = 69

Number of white balls drawn = 5

Number of red balls = 26

Number of red balls drawn = 1

According to question, The Powerball jackpot is won by matching all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball.

So, a) Possible different ways of Powerball tickets can be purchased is given by

$^{69}C_5\\\\=11,238,513$

And

b) Number of possible ways of different winning Poweball tickets are there would be

$26\times ^[69}C_5\\\\=292,201,338$

Hence, a) 11,238,513 and b) 292,201,338

Solve the system of equations using the elimination method. 1.Solve {x + 3y = -15

shutvik [7]

An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The solution is (-9,-2).

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Given the equation x + 3y = -15 and -3x + 2y = 23,

Step 1- Multiply the equations to make the coefficients match in either the x- or y-variable.

x + 3y = -15

3x + 9y = -45

Step2- After you multiply, add or subtract the two equations.

3x + 9y -3x + 2y = -45 + 23

Step 3- Then solve for the variables that is left.

11y = -22

y = -2

Step4- Substitute the value of y in any one of equations to solve for x.

x + 3(-2) = -15

x - 6 = -15

x = -9

Hence, The solution is (-9,-2).
