Answer:
A) At x = 4 and y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have something like (4,2), as shown above, the first number in parenthesis is x while the second number is y.
So here, the 4 would be x and the y would be 2
Let T=Num of T-shirts 27
Let M=Total amount of money spent for 27 T-shirts.
Let X=Cost of 1 T-shirt
M(Total cost)/T(#of T-shirts) = X (Cost of one shirt)
32 students would be on the trip. What I did to solve it was a proportion. 8students/ 3 chaperones= x students/12 chaperones.
8*12= 96 and 96/3=32. Therefore 32 students were on the trip.
Answer: 1,045 passengers
Step-by-step explanation:
This question involves multiple steps. Let's first try to figure the number of children on the cruise.
The ratio of girls to the total number of children was 2:5. There are 198 boys.
This information tells me that for every 5 children, there's 2 girls and 3 boys.
Based off of this information, we can divide the total number of boys by 3 in order to find the number of children.
198÷3=66
Let's multiply 66 by 5 since that's the number of groupings based off the ratio.
66×5=330
Let's check the number of children. Since the ratio of girls to total children is 2:5 and we already confirmed there's 198 boys, there should be 132 girls. We can turn this ratio into a fraction where 2/5 of the children are girls. we can confirm this by multiply 330 by 2/5 (0.4) and getting 132.
There are 330 children on the cruise.
The ratio of the number of adults to the number of children was 13:6.
For every 6 children, there were 13 adults. Let's divide the number of children by 6 in order to find the number of groupings.
330÷6=55
Let's now multiply the groupings by 13 to find the number of adults.
55×13=715
So there should be 715 adults and 330 children on the cruise.
715+330=1,045
