A:relative

B:break-even

C:total-value

D:perimeter

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence total number freshman presented are 655.

The system is relative system as there is correlation between freshman and

sophomores.( as freshman are 60 more than the Sophomores)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1250 total students of sophomores and freshman.

To Find:

freshman count and its type of system used.

Solution:

We have that ,

consider x be the no.of freshman and y be the sophomores

So by given condition,

x+y=1250        ,..............................Equation(1)

And other one,

x=60+y

Use above value in equation (1) we get ,

60+y+y=1250

2y=1250-60

y=595

Now number of freshman ,

x+y=1250

x=1250-595

x=655

Hence total number freshman presented are 655.

The system represent the relative proportion system.The break even and total value should include all students in university .

Relative means in relationship with one another .

As there are 60 more number of freshman than the sophomores.
