Last year at a certain high school, there were 75 boys on the honor roll and 50 girls on the honor roll. This year, the number o
f boys on the honor roll decreased by 24% and the number of girls on the honor roll decreased by 14%. By what percentage did the total number of students on the honor roll decrease? round your answer to the nearest tenth (if necessary).
First add 13.2 to both sides to get 0.5x > 0.1x + 33.2. Then subtract 0.1x from both sides to get 0.4x > 33.2. Lastly, divide each side by 0.4 to get a final answer of x > 83. Hope this helps!
