308, because you multiply 350 by 0.88

Answer:

The total number of students that voted in the election is 308

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of Students: 350

Percentage of Students that votes: 88%

Required

Number of students that voted.

To calculate the number of students that voted in the election, we have to multiply the percentage given by the total number of students in the school.

This is so because the percentage represents those that voted.

Mathematically, this is represented as:

Number of students that voted = Percentage of students that voted * Total number of students

By substitution, we have

Number of students that voted = 88% * 350

(Convert the percentage to fraction)

Number of students that voted = $\frac{88}{100} * 350$

(Multiply Numerators)

Number of students that voted = $\frac{88 * 350}{100}$

Number of students that voted = $\frac{30800}{100}$

Number of students that voted = $308$

Hence, the total number of students that voted in the election is 308

What is the slope-intercept equation of the line below?

Nataly [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the 2 coordinates marked on the graph as the reference.

The coordinates are:

A(4,-2)

B(0,3)

We know that the standard form for equation of line is:

y = mx+c

where m is the slope of the equation

and c is the y-intercept.

Very clearly, the y-intercept is where the line intercepts the y line.

and in this case, y-intercept = c = 3.

Now we know that the equation of line is now

y = mx + 3

To find m, the slope, we can use the 2 above coordinates.

slope of line = $\frac{y1-y2}{x1-x2} \\=\frac{-2-3}{4-0} \\=\frac{-5}{4} \\=-\frac{5}{4}$

(Note: There is a 2nd way to find the slope in this case, let me know if you are interested to find out.)

Equation of line: $y=-\frac{5}{4} x+3$

Therefore the answer is D.

Rewrite each sum as a product of the Gcf of the addends and another number. 15+45

morpeh [17]

15 + 45

GCF = 15

15/15 = 1
45/15 = 3

(15 * 1) + (15 * 3) =
15(1 + 3) <===

50+51+52+...+101=... Can you help me? I do not understand

Dmitriy789 [7]

Suppose

$S=50+51+52+\cdots+100+101$

At the same time, we can write

$S^*=101+100+99+\cdots+51+50$

Note that $S=S^*$ (just reverse the sum). Let's pair the first terms of $S$ and $S^*$ , and the second, and the third, and so on:

$S+S^*=(50+101)+(51+100)+(52+99)+\cdots+(100+51)+(101+50)$

Now, each grouped term in the sum on the right side adds to 151. There are 52 grouped terms on that same side (because there are 50 numbers in the range of integers 51-100, plus 50 and 101), which menas

$S+S^*=52\cdot151$

But $S=S^*$ , as we pointed out, so

$2S=52\cdot151\implies S=\dfrac{52\cdot151}2=3926$
