Answer:

D = 4, Z = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

6D+3Z = 96

5D+4Z = 116

multiply top by 5 and bottom by -6

top equation = 30D+15Z = 480

bottom equation = -30D-24Z = -696

Cancel 30D and -30 D

top equation  = 15Z = 480

Bottom equation = -24Z = -696

15Z - 24 Z = 480 - 696

-9Z = 216

Z = 216/9

Z = 24

Now that we have the value of Z, we can substitute it in any equation to find D

6D + 3(24) = 96

6D + 72 = 96

6D = 96 - 72

6D = 24

D = 24/6

D = 4

Help Please?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

1 a = 70%

 b 6.5 times

c  green = 16%

2.  ?????  Very poorly worded question

2. a 54%

b. 46%

c. 70%

d.  27%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Students in a class were asked to tell their favorite color.

a. What percent said red, blue, or yellow? __% said red, blue, or yellow.  

red is .26

blue is .40

yellow is .04

---------------------

                .70   = 70 %

b. How many times more students said red than yellow?

red  .26

yellow is .04

.26/.04 =  6.5 times


c. What percent of students said green? __% said green.

The circle must total 100 %

Red + blue + yellow + purple + green = 100

26+     40 +     4           + 14     +  green = 100

84 + green = 100

Subtract 84 from each side

84-84 + green = 100-84

green = 16

2. Which two methods could be used to find the percent of students who said green?

We can either convert the percents to decimals or the decimals to percents

The total percents must equal 100%

The total decimal must equal 1

a. Find the sum of the percents given in the circle graph.



If they only want the ones written on the graph as percents

(14+40) = 54%

b. Find the sum of the percent forms of the numbers given in the circle graph. Subtract the result from 100%.

100 - 54% = 46%

c. Find the sum of the decimal forms of the numbers given in the circle graph. Subtract that sum from 1. Change the result to a percent.

.26+.04 = .3

1-.3 = .7

70%

d. Find the sum of half of the percents given in the circle graph. Subtract that total from 50%.

1/2 (46%) = 23%

50 -23 = 27%
