To solve this equation from the information given above, I ordered it 5x+12=8x. To solve, I subtracted 5x from each side, canceling the 5x to your left, leaving only the number 12. 8x minus 5x equals 3x. Take 3x and divide on both sides. 3x/3x cancels the 3, leaving 12/3 equals 4. Finally, x equals 4.
12 boys. 7 * 3 is 21. 21 girls. 4*3 is 12. 12 boys 21 girls
Answer:
31.25 percent increase
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percent increase, we take
percent increase = (new - original)/new * 100 percent
= (420-320)/320 * 100 percent
100/320 * 100 percent
.3125 * 100 percent
31.25 percent increase
