Answer:

Girls = 16

Total students = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

40% of the students are girls, this means 60% of the students are boys.

To find the number of girls, setup a proportion using the percentages and actual number of students in the class. I am going to make the numerator the numbers that go with the girls and the denominator will be the numbers that go with the boys.

Also let's convert the percentages to decimals by moving the decimal two places left.

40% = 0.4 and 60% = 0.6

\frac{.4}{.6} =\frac{g}{24} \\.6g=9.6\\\frac{.6g}{.6} =\frac{9.6}{.6} \\g=16

Now let's find the total number of students by adding the number of girls to the number of boys.

16 + 24 = 40

The measure of the exterior angle of the triangle is ___
mr_godi [17]

Answer: 114°

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Concept: </h2>

Here, we need to know the idea of the "Exterior Angle theorem".

<u>The exterior angle theorem</u> states that the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two opposite interior angles of the triangle.

If you are still confused, then refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

<h2>Solve:</h2>

Given

24 + (2x + 18) = 3x + 6

Put like terms together

24 + 18 + 2x = 3x + 6

Combine like terms

42 + 2x = 3x + 6

Subtract 6 on both sides

42 + 2x - 6 = 3x + 6 - 6

36 + 2x = 3x

Subtract 2x on both sides

36 + 2x - 2x = 3x - 2x

x = 36

Exterior angle = 3x + 6 = 3(36) + 6 = 114°

Hope this helps!! :)
