This is the concept of algebra, to solve the question we proceed as follows;
the current number of women is:
1/4*20=5 women
the percentage of women is:
1/4*100=25%
therefore for the team to have 40% women, the number of women should be:
40/25*5
=8 women
The answer is 8 women

The water in a reservoir decreased by 47% during a drought. Before the drought, the reservoir held 44,580 acre ft (AF) of water.
RSB [31]


44,580 x 47 %

44,580 x .47 = 20,952.6

So, the water decreased 20,952.6 ft

If you want the water level after the drought just subtract.

44,580 - 20,952.6 =  23,627.4 ft

Hope this helps. :)

2. A man buys eggs at 55kobo a score . he finds that 10% of the eggs are unsellable but sells the rest at 60kobo a dozen .find i
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Percentage Profit is 63.63%

Step-by-step explanation:

The man buys 440 eggs at 55 pence a score

i.e. he buys 20 eggs for 55 pence

He buys 1 egg for 55/20 = 2.75 pence

Therefore, he buys 440 eggs for = 440 × 2.75 = 1210 pence

10% eggs are unsaleable

thus he sold = 440 - 440 × 10/100 = 440 - 44 = 396 eggs

Eggs sold in dozen = 396/12 = 33

He sold 1 dozen for = 60 pence

Thus, he sold 33 dozen for = 33 × 60 = 1980 pence

Profit = 1980 - 1210 = 770 pence

% Profit = (770/1210) × 100 = 63.63%

(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)
