Let g = original # of girls at the assembly.
Let w = # of boys at the assembly.

Equation of ratios:

w                 3         boys
-------    =    ---- = --------------------------------------------
g-12             4      girls after 12 have left assembly
                                                                                     4w + 36
Cross-mult., 4w = 3g - 36, so 4w + 36 = 3g, and g = ---------------  (answer)
                                                                                           4

This is "original # of girls at the assembly in terms of w, the # of boys at the assembly."

In 2007, the first generation of the i-phone sold for $499. The average cost of an i-phone today is $999. At a press conference
Gwar [14]

Answer: the statement made by Tim Cook is TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

in 2007 cost of 1st gen iphone = $499 (base year price)

cost of iphone today = $999 (current year price)

Using the Consumer Price Index

the Consumer Price Index = (cost pf product in current years/cost of product base year) × 100

we substitute

CPI  = (999/499) × 100

CPI  = 200.2004

so the CPI is 100.2004% higher in the current year than in the base year

Checking the inflation rate

IR = (( CPI this year- CPI last year)/CPI last year) × 100

CPI last year (base year) = 100

CPI current year is = 100.2004

so

IR = (( 100.2004 - 100)/100) × 100

IR = 0.002004 × 100

IR = 0.2004%

THEREFORE the statement made by Tim Cook is TRUE

How do i solve this​
Sophie [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

You're given that ΔUVW is similar to ΔYZW.  The tricky part is identifying which sides in ΔUVW correspond to which sides in ΔYZW.

The triangles share point W, so visually rotate one triangle around W until the two triangles align.  That way, you can see that UW and ZW correspond to each other, and VW and YW correspond to each other.

Now you can find the scale:

VW / YW = 5/12

And you can write a proportion to find x:

UW / ZW = VW / YW

x / 64 = 5 / 12

x = 26 ⅔
