This year, the number of 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).

What in mathematics is a linear equation?

• A linear equation is a first-order (linear) term plus a constant in the algebraic form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
• Sometimes, the aforementioned is referred to as a "linear equation of two variables," where x and y are the variables.

50 × 24% = 12

50 × 14%= 7

12+ 7 = 19

50+75 = 125

19 ÷125= 15.2%
