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

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The value will be $3,400 after 3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the percentage into the cash decrease each year, multiply that by 3 and then subtract $10,000 by the sum.

.22 x 10,000 = 2,200

2,200 x 3 = 6,600

10,000 - 6,600 = 3,400

Teddy has two pairs of black shoes and three pairs of brown shoes. He also has one pair of brown pants and three pairs of black
horsena [70]

Answer:

0.20 or 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Brown shoes = 3

Black shoes = 2

Total shoes = 5

Brown pants = 1

Black shoes = 3

Total pants = 4

Brown socks =4

Black socks = 6

Red socks = 2

Total socks = 12

In order to choose shoes, pants and socks of the same color, Teddy can go either all black or all brown. For all black, there is a 2 in 5 chance he gets the right shoes, 3 in 4 chance for pants and 6 in 12 for socks. For all brown, there is a 3 in 5 chance he gets the right shoes, 1 in 4 chance for pants and 4 in 12 for socks.

P=P(All\ black)+P(All\ brown)\\P=\frac{2}{5}*\frac{3}{4}*\frac{6}{12}+ \frac{3}{5}*\frac{1}{4}*\frac{4}{12}\\P=0.20

The probability that he chooses shoes, pants, and socks of the same color is 0.20 or 20%.
