Answer:
80 parrots were purchased.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of parrots be k.
If 20% (or 20/100 = 1/5) flew away and 5% (5/100 = 1/20) died, the remaining parrots will be k – (¹/₅k + ¹/₂₀k) = k – ¼k = ¾k.
Of the remaining, 45% (or 45/100 = 9/20) were sold, which means the total number of sold parrots will be ¾k × ⁹/₂₀ = ²⁷/₈₀k.
The remaining parrots = ¾k – ²⁷/₈₀k = ³³/₈₀k = 33
k = 33 × ⁸⁰/₃₃ = 80 parrots were purchased.
Using a system of equations, it is found that Gina got 22 questions correct in the test.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
In this problem, the variables are:
- Variable x: Number of questions she got correct.
- Variable y: Number of questions she got wrong.
The test has 30 questions, hence:
x + y = 30 -> y = 30 - x.
She scored 152 points, hence, considering the value of each question:
8x - 3y = 152.
Since y = 30 - x:
8x - 3(30 - x) = 152
11x = 242
x = 242/11
x = 22
Gina got 22 questions correct in the test.

Answer:
1/20 divided by 950
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a cube = (edge)^3
In this problem,
Volume = 216in^2
Edge = ?
Let's plug our values into the formula above.
216in^3 = (edge)^3
Take the cbrt of both sides.
6in = edge
The length of each edge = 6in
