Answer:
1) a. 195 are males
b. Males are the 85 %
2) 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of all the students: 230
35 are females
x are males
Then 35 + x = 230
x = 230 - 35 → 195
To determine the amount of males, from the total we apply the percent.
Percent = (Amount of males / Total of students) . 100
% = (195 / 230) . 100 = 85 %
2. In first place, Maria spent 13 for the book.
In second place, Maria spent 29 for the pencil box.
In total, she has spent 13+29 = 42
But, how many dolars have the grandpa gave to her?.
We can also apply percent and fractions, where:
(Book / Total) + (Pencil box/Total) + (What she did not spend/Total) = 1
13 + 29 + x = T
13/T + 29/T + x/T = 1, in conclussion x = 42
Total of money given = 84
Then, Maria has not spent the half of money→ 1/2
* 5
