Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b=c

a=girls

b= boys

c= total

the statement tell us:

4/5 of a class is girls:

a=(4/5)*c

boys=b=8

c=a+b

so we have:

c=(4/5)*c + 8

c-(4/5)*c=8

(5c-4c)/5 = 8

c/5=8

c=8*5

c=40

total=40

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Gross pay per days is 5h+8 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

total gross pay =35h+56 dollars

total number of days =7

we know that

gross pay per day = ( total gross pay)/(total number of days)

we can plug values

gross pay per day is

$=\frac{35h+56}{7}$

we can simplify it

$=\frac{7(5h+8)}{7}$

$=5h+8$
