Answer:

27 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of boys to girls is 3 to 6. The total is (3+6) is 9.

Using the ratio of boys to total (3 to 9), we set it equal to the ratio of boys to total students (81)

3 b

---- = -------------

9 81

We can solve this using cross products.

3*81 = 9b

243 = 9b

Divide each side by 9

243/9 =9b/9

27 =b

There are 27 boys

Anastasia is grocery shopping with her father and wonders how much shopping is left to do. "We already have 6 0 % 60%60, percent

Molodets [167]

If there are 12 items adding up to 60%, we want to know how many items more it will take to equal 100% So set up this equation 12/x = .6 then solve for x. x=12/.6 x = 20 now that we know the total you can subtract 12 from 20 and get 8, that is the number of items left on the list.
