Answer:
225 frogs
Step-by-step explanation:
Total population of frogs = 300 frogs.
Observed population of frogs = 24
6 of the 24 observed frogs had spots
Which means , the number of frogs that did not have spots = 24 - 6 = 18 frogs.
We were told to find how many of the total population can be predicted to NOT have spots. We would form a proportion.
If 24 frogs = 18 frogs with no spots
300 frogs = Y
Cross multiply
24Y = 300 × 18
Y = (300 × 18) ÷ 24
Y = 5400 ÷ 24
Y = 225 frogs.
This means out of 300 frogs, 225 frogs do not have spots.
Therefore, the total population that can be predicted to NOT have spots is 225 frogs.
the total population can be predicted to NOT have spots
Answer:
2.9

3.6 - 0.7 = 2.9
Answer:
35 hotdogs
Step-by-step explanation:
You are running a concession stand at a basketball game. You are selling hotdogs and sodas.
Let the number of hot dogs be represented by x
The number of soda be represented by y
You sold a total of 87 hotdogs and sodas combined
x + y = 87
x = 87 - y
Each hotdog cost $1.50 and each soda cost $0.50. At the end of the night you made a total of $78.50.
Hence we have the equation:
$1.50 × x + $0.50 × y = $78.50
1.50x + 0.50y = 78.50
Substitute 87 - y for x
1.50(87 - y) + 0.50y = 78.50
130.5 - 1.50y + 0.50y = 78.50
Collect like terms
- 1.50y + 0.50y = 78.50 - 130.50
-1.00y = -52
y = -52/-1
y = 52 sodas
How many hotdogs did you sell?
Using the equation:
x = 87 - y
x = 87 - 52
x = 35 hotdogs
Hence, you sold 35 hotdogs
