Deacon Middle School
5x = number of boys
4x = number of girls
where x is some unknown number for now
(number of boys)+(number of girls) = 270 students total
5x+4x = 270
9x = 270
x = 270/9
x = 30
Since x = 30, this means
number of girls = 4x
number of girls = 4*30
number of girls = 120
There are 120 girls at Deacon Middle School
-----------------------------------------
Similarly, for Meadow Middle school
number of boys = 4y
number of girls = 5y
for some number y
(number of boys) + (number of girls) = 180 students total
4y+5y = 180
9y = 180
y = 180/9
y = 20
making,
number of girls = 5*y
number of girls = 5*20
number of girls = 100
so there are 100 girls at Meadow Middle School
-----------------------------------------
In summary so far, there are...
120 girls at Deacon Middle School
100 girls at Meadow Middle School
In total 120+100 = 220 girls from both schools
This is out of 270+180 = 450 students total
Divide the two values (220 and 450) to get
220/450 = 22/45
The final answer is 22/45
It cannot be reduced further as there are no common factors (other than 1) between 22 and 45
Answer:
markup price = $25.31
retail price = $59.06
Step-by-step explanation:
Markup price is 75% OF 33.75
Retail price is original price (33.75) PLUS the markup price (to be found)
Firstly, converting a percentage to a decimal is simple. We simply divide by 100. So:
75% = 75/100 = 0.75
Now, to find markup, we multiply:
33.75 * 0.75 = $25.31
Now, the retail price is SUM of original and markup, that would be:
retail price = 33.75 + 25.31 = $59.06
Thus,
markup price = $25.31
retail price = $59.06
Answer:
221.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement above can be expressed as
221 [574/1000]
221.574 [ 5 represent tenth; 7 represent hundredth; 4 represent thousandth]
Hence to the nearest tenth would be;
221.6 [ since 7 is more than 5 we round up to 1 to add up to the preceding number]
