There are 138 female patients in the hospital.

<h3>Solving word problems involving ratios.</h3>

The solution to the word problem involving ratios in the given problem can be determined as follows.

From the given information:

The total number of people in the hospital = male + female

= 184 + x(unknown)

  • If the ratio of male to female is 4: 3.
  • The total ratio is 4+3 = 7

The ratio of males in the hospital is:

\mathbf{184= \dfrac{4}{7} \times x }

\mathbf{184\times 7= 4 x }

x = 322

The number of female patients in the hospital can now be computed as:

\mathbf{=\dfrac{3}{7}\times 322}

= 138 female patients

Check:

The total number of people in the hospital is:

= 184 + 138

= 322 patients

All of them plz I need help if ur older Shouldnt be hard
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The answer for number 1 would be 57 dollars and 80 cents

Number two would be little ceasars

Number 3 would be 75 dollars and 60 cent

Number 4 would be 40 dollars and 80 cent

Number 5 would be 110 dollars and 98 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of you take 68 and times it by 15% which would be .15 you would get 10.2 you would then take 68 and subtract 10.2 from it and get 57.8

Number 2: take 7.50 times it by .3 and you get 2.25 then subtract 2.25 from 7.50 and you get 5.25 so even with the coupon little ceasars pizza is still 25cent cheaper

Number 3: add 42 to 28 and you get 70. 8% of 70 is 5.6 so add 5.6 to 70 and you have your answer of 75.60

Number 4: 35.48 is the price alone. Times that number by .15 and you get 5.322. Add 35.48 and 5.322 to get 40.802 but for money wise you just need the 40.80

Number 5: 118 one again is the price standing alone but 118 multiplied by .10 is 11.8 so subtract 11.8 from 118 and you get 106.2 but there is still a sales tax. So 106.2 times .045 or 4.5% would be 4.779, add that number to 106.2 and you get 110.979. Now the problem did not say anything about rounding but the 9 would make the 7 an 8 so of you do that you get 110.98.

So to help you in the future when dealing with percentages with discounts and tax’s. if it’s a discount once you times the original number by the percentage you subtract the sum from the original number. As for taxes you do the same process but instead of subtracting you add

A bin has 5 white balls and k black balls in it, where k is an unknown positive integer. A ball is drawn at random from the bin.
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: The expected loss is 50 cents, we know that it is more likely to lose than win. It is therefore difficult to get-50, so the overall difference between the two possibilities is 2, 50/200=1/4, and the probability to win is 1/4, and the probability to lose is 3/4. Since (1/4)*3=3/4, the number of black balls is 3 times the number of white balls, so k=15.
