The number of boys . . . . . B
Twice the number of boys . . . 2B
4 more than twice the number of boys . . . 2B+4

You said that the number of girls is equal to that, so . . . G = 2B+4

But you also told us what G is: 16 = 2B+4

Subtract 4 from each side: 12 = 2B

Divide each side by 2 : 6 = B

There you have it. There are 6 boys in the club.

the price of the cell phone is expected to increase by 165% in September 2015. The current price of a cell phone is $62.80. What

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

$166.42.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the price of the cell phone is expected to increase by 165% in September 2015. The current price of a cell phone is $62.80.

The price of cell phone in September 2015 will be $62.80 plus 165% of $62.80.

$\text{The predicted cost of a cell phone in September 2015}=\$62.80+(\frac{165}{100}*\$62.80)$

$\text{The predicted cost of a cell phone in September 2015}=\$62.80+(1.65*\$62.80)$

$\text{The predicted cost of a cell phone in September 2015}=\$62.80+\$103.62$

$\text{The predicted cost of a cell phone in September 2015}=\$166.42$

Therefore, the predicted cost of a cell phone in September 2015 will be $166.42.
