We can setup an equation for this.

Boys to Girls = 2:7
Boys =  x
Girls = 250+x
Setup the ratio 
 x:(250+x) = 2:7
x / (250+x) = 2/7
7x = 500+2x
7x-2x = 500
x = 500/5 =100

There are 100 boys at the concert

Answer:

100 boys at the concert

Step-by-step explanation:

At a country concert, the ratio of the number of boys to girls is 2:7

Let 'b' be the number of boys in the concert

there are 250 more girls than boys

so b+250 are the number of girls in the concert

the ratio of boys to girls is b: b+250

Now make a proportion using the ratio

\frac{2}{7} =\frac{b}{b+250}

Now solve for b . cross multiply the fraction

(b+250) \cdot 2= 7 \cdot b

2b+500= 7b

Subtract 2b from both sides

5b= 500

Divide both sides by 5

b=100

So there are 100 boys at the concert

The sale price of every item in a store is 85% of its usual price.
Vladimir [108]

Answer

a. The backpack is $4.50

b. The sweatshirt is $2.70

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 30 x 0.15 = 4.50 (The 0.15 is from the price you are actually paying for the item. Because the item is 85% off, you are paying for 15% of the usual price. 15% as a decimal is 0.15 so you multiply that to the original price to find the amount u will pay.)

b. 18 x 0.15 = 2.70
