Given:
The race percent of population is
White:      45%
Hispanic: 27%
Black:       18%
Asian:        7%
Other:        3%

Part a.
The university has 2,815 Hispanic out of the 20,250 total population.
This is equivalent to (2815/20250)*100 = 13.9%
This percentage is less than 27%, so Hispanics do not have proportional representation.

Answer: The Hispanic students do not have proportional representation.

Part b.
Let x =  the extra number of Hispanic students needed for proportional representation of 27% or 0.27.
Then
(2815 + x)/20250 = 0.27
2815 + x = 20250*0.27 = 5467.5
x = 5467.5 - 2815 = 2652.5

This means that 2,653 extra Hispanic students are required for a population of 20,250 students.

Answer: 2,653 extra Hispanic students.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Mariam went to the store 5 times, while Sana went 3 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Mariam and Sana are excited that a new store just opened in town, and they go together the first day it opens, and each time Mariam goes to the store she plans to spend Rs. 30, and each time Sana goes to the store she plans to spend Rs. 50, and a few weeks from now, Mariam and Sana are surprised to find out that they have spent the exact same total amount of money at the store, to determine what is the least possible number of times that Mariam has been to the store the following mathematical reasoning has to be done:

To know how many times Mariam went and how many times Sana went to the store, since she spends Rs. 30 and the other Rs. 50, and they have spent the same after a few weeks, it is through the search for the lower common multiple of both numbers.

Thus, the common multiple less than 30 and 50 is 150 (30 x 5 or 50 x 3). Therefore, Mariam went to the store 5 times, while Sana went 3 times.
