there are 9,860 students in a population of 62,400 people. What percent of the total population is students?

1 answer:

4 0

If we take 62,400 to be the 100%, what is 9,860 in percentage off of it?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
62400&100\\
9860&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{62400}{9860}=\cfrac{100}{x}$

solve for "x".

(i) Challenge: Thembi received 8% discount on an item which cost

Paul [167]

Answer:

$x = 0.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Cost\ Price = 6 + x$

$Discount =8\%$

$Amount\ Paid = R6 - x$

Required

Find x

First, we calculate the amount paid in terms of the cost price.

This is calculated using:

$Amount\ Paid = Cost\ Price * (100\% - Discount)$

$Amount\ Paid = (6 + x) * (100\% - 8\%)$

$Amount\ Paid = (6 + x) * 92\%$

Express as decimal

$Amount\ Paid = (6 + x) * 0.92$

Open bracket

$Amount\ Paid = 5.52 + 0.92x$

So, we have:

$Amount\ Paid = 5.52 + 0.92x$ and

$Amount\ Paid = R6 - x$ ---- given

Equate both

$6 - x = 5.52 + 0.92x$

Collect like terms

$- x -0.92x= 5.52-6$

$-1.92x= -0.48$

$1.92x= 0.48$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{0.48}{1.92}$

$x = 0.25$

14/12 because if u go on calculator and do 5 divided by 12 + 9 divided by 12 u get 1.166667 or something and then u do 14/12 and it’s the same number.

In the problem below, AB, CD, and EF are two-digit numbers, where A, B, C, D, E and F represent distinct digits from 1 to 9. Is

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

<em>When both the conditions hold true, F is prime.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

AB, CD, and EF are two-digit numbers, where A, B, C, D, E and F represent distinct digits from 1 to 9.

+ CD

--------

1st condition, B and D are consecutive.

Adding B and D gives us F.

Possible values can be (F being the unit value after adding not considering the carry over):

B + D = F

1+2=3

2+3=5

3+4=7

4+5=9

5+6=1

6+7=3

7+8=5

8+9=7

Here F is not prime (because 9 is not prime).

Now, let us consider the 2nd condition as well.

i.e. C = 8

For the following

+ CD

--------

C is 8 then A must be 1 because any value other than 1 for A will make the sum of A and C greater than 9 and there will be a carry which is not the case here.

So, E = 8 + 1 = 9

Now, B and D are consecutive and can not be 1, 8 or 9.

So, possible values are:

B + D = F

2 + 3 = 5

3 + 4 = 7

Here F is prime.

So, when both the conditions hold true, F is prime.
