The answer is:  " 975 girls " .
___________________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________________________
What is 65% of 1500?
___________________________________________________
  65/100 * 1500/1 = ?  ;

The two "zeros" in "100" cancel out;  
and the two "zeros" in "1500" cancel out;
____________________________________________________
    And we are left with:
____________________________________________________
    65/1  * 15/1 = 65 * 15 = 975 girls.
_____________________________________________________
OTHER METHOD:
_____________________________________________________
   65% of 1500 = 65/100 * 1500 = 0.65 * 1500 = 975 girls.
_____________________________________________________
OTHER Method:
_____________________________________________________
  65% of 1500 = 65/100 * 1500 ;

Note:  65/100 = (65÷5) / (100÷5) = 13/20;

13/20 * 1500 = 13/20 * 1500/1 = ? ;

 The "zero" in "20" cancels out; and the last zero in "1500" cancels out;

and we have:  13/2 * 150/1 ;  

The "2" cancels to a "1" ; and the "150" cancels to a "75"; 

and we have:  13/1 * 75/1 = 13 * 75 = 975 .

Need help finding out what 3x=y and x-2y = 10
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

x=-2, y=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple substitution.

Since y is isolated in one of the equations already, you can plug it into the second equation.

x - 2(3x) = 10

x - 6x = 10

-5x = 10

x = -2

Sub. x = -2 into 3x = y:

3(-2) = y

y = -6
