Answer:
2 cows and 5 chickens.
Step-by-step explanation:
NOTE: This will be solved using simultaneous equations.
Let x = cows and y = chickens
1. form two equations
4x + 2y = 18 ... (1)
x + y = 7 .... (2)
2. make y (or x) the subject of one equation
x + y = 7
y = 7 - x ... (3)
3. Substitute (3) into (1)
4x + 2( 7 - x) = 18
4. solve for x
4x + 14 - 2x = 18
2x = 4
x = 2
5. Now substitute x value into equation (2)
x + y = 7
2 + y = 7
y = 5
∴ cows (x) = 2
chickens (y) = 5
Let us take a number x
The four consecutive numbers will be
x+1, x+2, x+3
Thus our equation will be
x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3 = 42
4x + 6 = 42
4x = 36
x= 36/4
x= 9
Thus the four numbers are (substitute)
x=9
x+1=9+1=10
x+2=9+2=11
x+3=9+3=12
9,10,11,12
Answer:
0.525 %
Step-by-step explanation:
there is a total of 80 students and 42 received a A or B so 42/80 = 0.525
