There are 600 students including the seventh and eighth graders at the party.

This problem uses the concept of percentages to define the conditions that are laid in front of us.

Let the original  number of students be S , and the number of seventh graders be   = 0.60S

We know that percent is used to convey the mathematical term of a fraction multiplied by 100.

Total students  after 20 eighth graders arrive = S + 20

And we have that

Number of seventh graders / total number of students  =  58%

.60S  / [ S + 20 ]  =   .58    we multiply both sides by  S +  20

0.60S  =0 .58 [ S + 20]

.60S  = .58S + 11.6   we subtract  0.58S from  both the sides

0.02S = 11.6  we divide both the sides  by .02

S  = 11/6 / 0.02 =    580

So the total number of students = 580 + 20  = 600 .

Hence there are 600 students at the party at that time.

How do you solve 6) n2+7n+15=5 by factoring?
charle [14.2K]
First, you need to set the equation equal to zero:

n^2 + 7n + 10 = 0

Now we factor. We need to find two numbers that add up to 7 and multiply to 10. 

2 + 5 = 7
2 * 5 = 10

Now, we just need to write this as a polynomial:

(n + 2) (n + 5)
is our answer. 

Hope this helps!
