Answer:

Percentage of new group boys = 30%

Percentage decrease for the boys = 10%

Increase percent of the girls = 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of children = 15

Ratio (Boys to Girls) = 2 : 3

Number of more girls join = 5

Find:

Percentage of boys in new group

Percentage decrease for the boys

Increase percent of the girls

Computation:

Number of boys = 15[2/5]

Number of boys = 6

Number of girls = 15[3/5]

Number of girls = 9

Percentage of boys = [6 / 15]100

Percentage of boys = 40%

Percentage of girls = [9 / 15]100

Percentage of girls = 60%

New number of students = 15 + 5

New number of students = 20

New number of boys = 6

New number of girls = 9 + 5 = 14

Percentage of new group boys = [6 / 20]100

Percentage of new group boys = 30%

Percentage of new group girls = [14 / 20]100

Percentage of new group girls = 70%

Percentage decrease for the boys = 40% - 30%

Percentage decrease for the boys = 10%

Increase percent of the girls = 70% - 60%

Increase percent of the girls = 10%

Answer:

A handyman need 34 rows of 18 tiles.

How many total tiles does he need?

and there are supposed to be 34 rows

so you can multiply the number of tiles in each row (18) by the number of rows (34)

34 x 18 = 612

the handyman needs a total of 612 tiles to cover the floor.

The perimeter of the triangle is 40 units.Which of the following equations could be used to find the value of x?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

13x + 112 = 320.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides:

1/2 x + 3/8 x + 11 + 3/4 x + 3 = 40

1/2 x + 3/8 x  + 3/4 x + 3 + 11 = 40

1/2 x + 3/8 x  + 3/4 x + 14 = 40

Multiply through by 8 to remove the fractions:

4x + 3x + 6x  + 14 = 40

13x + 112 = 320.
