Answer:

boys = 250

girls = 150

Step-by-step explanation:

5g = 3b       eq. 1

g + b = 400       eq. 2

g = girls

b = boys

From the eq. 2

g = 400 - b

Replacing this last eq. on eq. 1:

5(400-b) = 3b

5*400 + 5*-b = 3b

2000 - 5b = 3b

2000 = 3b + 5b

2000 = 8b

2000/8 = b

250 = b

From eq. 2

g + 250 = 400

g = 400 - 250

g = 150

Check:

from eq. 1

5*150 = 3*250  = 750

A 4-bedroom, 4-bath 4,875 square feet house was listed at $445,000. Andreas, the seller, accepted an offer that was 95% of the l
klasskru [66]

Answer: He gets $86.71 per square foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

<em>Area = 4,875 square feet </em>

<em>Price = $445,000 </em>

First, we have to divide the price of the house by the area, to obtain the price per square foot:

Mathematically speaking:

$445,000 / 4,875 square feet = $91.2 per square foot (original price)

Now we have to multiply it by the offer in decimal form (95/100 =0.95)

$91.2 x 0.95 = 86.71 per square foot

He gets $86.71 per square foot.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
