Since the numbers are not consecutive natural numbers, how about if I let the 4 numbers be a, b, c, and d?

The sum is given to be 1320.

a + b + c + d =1320...I will call this the first equation.

Can I then say that the second equation is b + c + d = 0.4a + a? Yes, I can do this.

Simplifying my second equation,

I get b + c + d = 1.4a.

Plugging this into my first equation, I get

a +1.4a =1320

2.4a =1320

So, a =1320/(2.4) =550.

Answer: 550

Answer:

550

Step-by-step explanation:

We aren't given that they are consecutive so lets just pretend the numbers are x, y, z , and r.

We are given x+y+z+r=1320

We are also given that y+z+r=.4x+x

Simplifying my second equation gives us y+z+r=1.4x. I'm going to plug this into first equation giving me

x+1.4x=1320

2.4x=1320

So x=1320/2.4=550

** 30 POINTS ** <br><br> Anyone got an idea for 7 and 8?
Harrizon [31]
7. i would guess 95-100 people were surveyed. the way you estimate this is by adding the number of students in each category. ex. about 3 in the first bar, about 9 in the next
8. no, you could not list the exact height because the data given only shows the number of students in between 75-80, not their actual height.
