Answer:

40

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

If tñ=2ñ+3, find S10​
Allisa [31]

Answer:

S_{10}=280

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

t_n=2n+3 ...(1)

We need to find the value of S_{10}.

Put n = 1 to find the first term.

t_1=2(1)+3=5

Put n = 2 to find the second term.

t_2=2(2)+3=7

Put n = 3 to find the third term.

t_3=2(3)+3=9

Put n = 10 to find the tenth term.

t_{10}=2(10)+3=23

It means we need to find the sum of 5,7,9,.....,23.

The formula for the sum of n terms is given by :

S_=\dfrac{n}{2}(a+a_n)

We have, n = 10, a = 5 and a_n=23

So,

S=\dfrac{10}{2}(5+23)\\\\S_{10}=10\times 28\\\\=280

So, the value of S_{10} is equal to 280.

if the unit price for oranges is $0.26 per pound and Jim pays $2.08 for oranges, how many puns of oranges does he buy? A) 4.5 po
Nata [24]
Hey there!

If the price per orange is $.26 and we want to know how many oranges he bought and we have our total, we can set o equal to how many oranges he got and set up an algebraic equation:

0.26o = 2.08

We multiply .26 by o because o is how many oranges he bought and that's what we're solving for- so we multiply by the unit price.

To isolate o, we divide both sides by .26 to get:

The answer is C- Jim bought 8 oranges.

Hope this helps!
