Answer:

Number of boys were 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Direct proportion:

When x varies directly with y then x=ky, {where k is proportionality                            

                                                                                             constant}.

Let number of girl be g,

Number of boy be b,

And number of teacher be t.

From the question,

Number of girls varies directly as the number of boys and inversely with number of teacher.

So, Using direct proportion we get an equation

                        g=\frac{k\times b}{t}                    ........(a)

Case 1: g=50 ,  t=20 ,   and b=10

Now,  substituting all the values in equation (a) we get,

             50=\frac{k\times 10}{20}  ⇒ k\times 10=50\times20

                                          k=100

Case 2: g=10 ,  t=100 , b=?

Finding the number of boys using  k=100 we get,

            10=\frac{100\times b}{100}     ⇒ b=10

Therefore, Number of boys were 10.

Find the sum of the first 42 terms of the following series, to the nearest
balandron [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the sum of the first 42 terms of the following series, to the nearest integer.

2,7,12

Solution

The sum is given by  

SUM_n=n/2*(a_1+a_n)

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

a_1=2,   n=42,     d=5

The 42nd term is therefore given by  

a_42=2+(42-1)5=207

SUM_42=42/2*(2+207)=21*209=4389

The sum of the first 42 terms of the series, therefore, is 4389

Someone quickly hell
Elza [17]

Answer:

£3,780

Step-by-step explanation:

Total rows = 19 rows

Seats per row = 28 seats

Cost of tickets per seats = £8.75

Total number of seats at the concert = Total rows × seats per row

= 19 rows × 28 seats

= 532 seats

The tickets for 100 seats have not been sold

Total number of tickets = sold tickets + unsold tickets

532 = sold tickets + 100

532 - 100 = sold tickets

432 = sold tickets

Sold tickets = 432 tickets

Total cost estimate of sold tickets = sold tickets × cost of tickets per seats

= 432 × £8.75

= £3,780
