Answer:

<em>The number of boys enrolled was 150. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the number of boys enrolled was x

As there were 200 more girls than boys, so the number of girls = x+200

Given that, the ratio of boys to girls was 3 : 7 , so the equation will be........

\frac{x}{x+200}= \frac{3}{7} \\ \\ 7x=3x+600\\ \\ 7x-3x=600\\ \\ 4x=600\\ \\ x=\frac{600}{4}=150

So, the number of boys enrolled was 150.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer: 2 months, Total cost= $72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the number of months then

For Club A fee= 28+22x

For Club B fee= 16+28x

Equating both we get

28 + 22x= 16+28x

28-16= 28-22x

12= 6x

x= 2

So after 2 months the fee will be same i.e. 28+22(2)= $72
