We can use trial or error method here...

If we take 4 table, 4*5 = 20 and 4*7 = 28. 20+28 = 48.
20 : 28 = 5 : 7

So, there are 20 boys and 28 girls in a school play and there are 8 girls more than boys.

If you look over tables and try it out, only 4 table works for the given ratio.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:Justin plans to spend $20 on sports cards. Regular cards cost $3.50 per pack and foil cards cost $4.50 per pack

number of packs of regular cards =r and the number of packs of foll cards = f

Cost of Regular card = 3.50

Cost of 'r' packs of regular card = 3.50r

Cost of Foil card = 4.50

Cost of 'f' packs of Foil card = 4.50f

Justin plans to spend $20 on sports cards so the sum of cost of regular and Foil cards should be less than or equal to 20

The inequality becomes

3.50r + 4.50f <= 20

An insurance company pays Tommy a $400 commission for selling a $100,000 insurance policy. At this rate, what would be Tommy’s c
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

$100

Step-by-step explanation:

He gets paid a commission of $400 for a $100,000 insurance policy. We need to find out how much he's gonna get paid for a $25,000 insurance policy.


Break down the $100,000 into four equal amounts if possible, which it is:

$25,000

$25,000

$25,000

$25,000

Now break down his commission of $400 for the $100,000 insurance policy into four equal amounts if possible, which it is:

$100

$100

$100

$100

Now since we split them up into four equal parts you can tell how much he would get paid for a $25,000 insurance policy.

He would get paid $100 for the $25,000
