2/9 of the members are boys in a community service club. if there are 95 more girls than boys, how many girls are there in club?
1 answer:
Answer:
There are 171 members in the club
Number of boys = 38
Number of girls = 133
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = total members of the club
Boys = 2/9x
if there are 95 more girls than boys
Girls = 2/9x + 95
how many girls are there in club?
Total members in the club = boys + girls
x = 2/9x + 2/9x + 95
x = 2+2/9x + 95
x = 4/9x + 95
x - 4/9x = 95
9x-4x/9 = 95
5/9x = 95
Divide both sides by 5/9
x = 95 ÷ 5/9
= 95 × 9/5
= 855/5
= 171
boys = 2/9x
= 2/9 * 171
= 342 / 9
= 38
Girls = 2/9x + 95
= 38 + 95
= 133
Total = 38 + 133
= 171
There are 171 members in the club
Number of boys = 38
Number of girls = 133
