Answer:

8 boys are in the group

Step-by-step explanation:

A group consisted of 2 girls for every boy. 24 more girls joined the group. There are now 5 girls for every boy.

Let 'x' be the number of boys

2 girls for every boy and 24 more girls joined

So  number of girls now = 2(number of boys ) + 24

2x + 24

now 5 girls for every boy.

number of girls now = 5 (number of boys)

5x

2x + 24 = 5x

Subtract 2x on both sides

24 = 3x

Divide by 3 on both sides

x= 8

So number of boys in the group = 8

X = boys

2x+24=5x

Subtract 2 x from each side

24=3x

X=24/3 = 8

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Pilar va a pagar en total por el coche 14209.84€.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pilar ha comprado un coche, da una entrada y lo quiere pagar en 12 meses.

Cada mes va a pagar 600,82€. Como lo quiere pagar en doce meses, luego de finalizado ese tiempo el precio pagado se calcula como:

12 meses* 600,82€ por mes= 7209,84€

Por otro lado, Pilar ha dado al principio una entrada de 7000€. Entonces, el total a pagar por el coche es calculado como:

7000€ + 7209,84€= 14209.84€

<u><em>Pilar va a pagar en total por el coche 14209.84€.</em></u>
