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.

Angle 3 and angle 4 form a linear pair. The measure of Angle 3 is four more than three
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

angle 3. ( x ) is 136°

angle 4 ( y ) is 44° !!

Step-by-step explanation:

Let angle 3 be x and angle 4 be y

Given, Angle 3 and angle 4 form a linear pair

x + y = 180 [ sum of linear pair angle is 180 ] ... ( i )

Also, The measure of Angle 3 is four more than three

The measure of Angle 3 is four more than threetimes the measure of angle 4.

x = 4 + 3y .... ( ii )

Putting value of x from ( ii ) in ( i )

4 + 3y + y = 180

4y = 176

y = 44

Also, x + y = 180 => x = 180 - 44 = 136

During a recent election, 42 of every 100 registered voters in a certain city voted. If there were 158 , 200 registered voters i
Ivanshal [37]
Seeing as there are 1582 sets of 100 people (158200 ÷ 100) multiplying 42 by 1582 should get you the answer. 1582 × 42 = 66444. 66444 people voted in that city.
