The ratio of children to adults at a play is 2:3. The ratio of children under 10 to those over 10 is 7: 3. What % are younger ch

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

28%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of children be 2x, then number of adults be 3x

Total number is 5x

Let number of children under 10 be 7y, number of children be 3y,

then total number of children is 10y

so 2x = 10y, x = 5y, y/x = 1/5

younger children = children under 10, number is 7y

so the % is 7y/5x = 7/5 * y/x = 7/5 * 1/5 = 7/25 = 28/100 = 28%

Total number of bales after stacking = 2,358 bales

Equation for scenario b

Initial bales + added bales = total number of bales after stacking

1,041 + b = 2,357

Added bales = Newly stacked bales:

1041 + b = 2,357

b = 2357 - 1041

b = 1,316

The stacked bales of hay stacked to join the initial is. 1,316 bales
