How many males and how many females would there be if the total enrollment is 15000?

Ratio is 

  90 males      15000 - x
  ------------- = ---------------
   125 fem              x

Then 90x = 1875000 - 125x, or 215x = 1875000

                                                      x = approx 8720 females
                       and 15000-8720, or 6279 males

If every male finds a dance partner, that would leave (8720-6279) females, or 2440, without dance partners.  ;(

Check:  is the male:female ratio near 90:125?

Is 6279:8720 approx equal to 90:125?

Yes.  0.72 (approx) = 0.72 (approx).

Write the equation that describes the following variation. Don't forget "k"!
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

x=(k√x)/(w^2)(cube√z)

x varies directly with square root of y is:

x = k √y

And inversely with the square of w and cube root of s is:

/(w^2)(cube√z)

Now put those together:

x=(k√x)/(w^2)(cube√z)

The formula is:

x=ky/wz but add the specific info like square, roots, or etc

A company that manufactures hair ribbons knows that the number of ribbons it can sell each week, x, is related to the price p pe
mel-nik [20]

Given:

The number of ribbons it can sell each week, x, is related to the price p per ribbon by the equation:

x=1000-100p

To find:

The selling price if the company wants the weekly revenue to be $1,600.

Solution:

We know that the revenue is the product of quantity and price.

R=xp

R=(1000-100p)p

R=1000p-100p^2

We need to find the value of p when the value of R is $1600.

1600=1000p-100p^2

1600-1000p+100p^2=0

100(16-10p+p^2)=0

Divide both sides by 100.

p^2-10p+16=0

Splitting the middle term, we get

p^2-8p-2p+16=0

p(p-8)-2(p-8)=0

(p-8)(p-2)=0

Using zero product property, we get

p-8=0 or p-2=0

p=8 or p=2

Therefore, the smaller value of p is $2 and the larger value of p is $8.
