Answer: 12 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X and Y stand for the number of students in each respective class.
We know:
X/Y = 2/5, and
Y = X+24
We want to find the number of students, x, that when transferred from Y to X, will make the classes equal in size. We can express this as:
(Y-x)/(X+x) = 1
---
We can rearrange X/Y = 2/5 to:
X = 2Y/5
The use this value of X in the second equation:
Y = X+24
Y =2Y/5+24
5Y = 2Y + 120
3Y = 120
Y = 40
Since Y = X+24
40 = X + 24
X = 16
--
Now we want x, the number of students transferring from Class Y to Class X, to be a value such that X = Y:
(Y-x)=(X+x)
(40-x)=(16+x)
24 = 2x
x = 12
12 students must transfer to the more difficult, very early morning, class.
Simple, first change the 4.5% into 0.045
Thus,
900=0.045*n
900/0.045=0.045n/0.045
20,000=n
Thus, your answer is 20,000.
Answer:
0.74
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
in 13.95 years the senior class will have 100 students.
Step-by-step explanation:
P(h) = p(0.92)^t (equation for exponential change)
P(h) - population of highschool (or senior class) = 100
p - staring amount = 320
t = time in years
100 = 320(0.92)^t
1/3.2 = .92^t (divide both sides by 320)
log(1/3.2, .92) = t (log base 0.92 of 1/3.2 equals t)
13.9497 = t
