Answer:

number of boys = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of boys to girls is 5 : 7

Sum of the ratio is 12

The total students in the class is 36 students which include girls and boys.

since the ratio of boys to girls is known the number of boys and the number of girls can be computed.

Total student = 36

number of boys = 5/12 × 36

number of boys = 5 × 3

number of boys = 15

The number of girls = 36 - 15 = 21

Answer: 65000$ worth of things

This is edited, because I got it backwards last time.

We need to make 2500, but she only makes 4% of whatever she sells.

That means the equation is

2500 = 0.04x

Now, we just need to divide both sides by 0.04 and we get 65000.

Sorry for the confusion.
