Ok, so at first this question seems tricky, since 5 does not go into 25.  However, you can't have a percentage of 1 person.  Since 5 goes into 25 5 times, then we will go with that.  So multiply 3 x 5 to get 15 girls.  Because you can't have a fraction of a single person.

You have to use proportion for this problem, so you do 
 
5 boys  =  3 girls
24 boys =  ? girls
24 times 3 equals 72. 72 divided by 5 equals 14.4. You have to round this answer to get 15 girls.
Hope this helped :D

G(-5) = -4*|(-5)-1|
Mamont248 [21]
There is one answer, -24.

While yes, absolute value does indicate both a positive and negative will work, for every x value there will be only one y value associated with it; if there were more, then it would not meet the criteria to be a function.
