Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote:

a: number of students wearing sneakers

b: number of students wearing boots

We have:

a + b = 36

a/b = 4/5 (multiply both sides by b => a = 4b/5)

Substitute a = 4b/5 into a + b = 36

=> 4b/5 + b = 36

=> 4b/5 + 5b/5 = 36

=> 9b/5 = 36

=> b/5 = 4

=> b = 20

=> a = 4b/5 = 4(20)/5 = 16

There are 1420 students enrolled at Senn. If 60% of these students walk to school, how many students are walking to school?
pychu [463]

Answer:

852 students walking to school

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start with a simple example so you can get it

if 60% of 100 students walk to school that means

60 students walk to school... right??

so lets simplify it more that means you have multiplied 100 (students) by 60%

or \frac{60}{100}  (note: you can say that 60% is equal to \frac{60}{100} )

so the problem told 60% of 1420 students walk to school that means we should

do this:     1420*\frac{60}{100} = 852
