U=200
n(G)=120
n(F)=100
n(GnF)=x
U=n(G)+n(F)-n(GnF)
200=120+100-x
x=20
French but not German is 100-20=80
percentage = 80/200 *100%= 40%

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Estimation is a mental process of coming up with an answer that is relatively close, to allow decisions to be made. The types of estimation are quantity, computation and measurement.

An estimation strategy is simply coming up with a good estimate based on evidence and already known facts. Coming to a conclusion as close to the real answer as you can. It can also be called an educated guess.

The ratio of violinists to cellists in the school orchestra must always be 7:3. If the school orchestra has 21 violinists, what

Papessa [141]

Given:

Violinists : Cellists = 7:3.

Number of violinists in the school orchestra = 21

To find:

The combined number of cellists and violinists.

Solution:

Let the number of violinists and cellists in the school orchestra are 7x and 3x respectively.

Then, combined number of cellists and violinists is

$\text{Combined number of cellists and violinists}=7x+3x$

$\text{Combined number of cellists and violinists}=10x$ ...(i)

Number of violinists in the school orchestra = 21

$7x=21$

Divide both sides by 7.

$x=3$

Now, the combined number of cellists and violinists is

$\text{Combined number of cellists and violinists}=10(3)$ [Using (i)]

$\text{Combined number of cellists and violinists}=30$

Therefore, the combined number of cellists and violinists is 30.

Galen sold tickets for his church’s carnival for a total of $2,820. Children’s tickets cost $3 each and adult tickets cost $5 ea

Veronika [31]

Answer:

a = 195 ; c = 615

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you want to start by forming your equations...

I will use 'c' for children and 'a' for adults for my variables

3a + 30 = c

(this is because of the info that 30 more tickets than 3 times the amount of children's were sold than adult)

then for equation 2:

3c + 5a = 2820

(this is because of the prices of the tickets and the total money raised)

Then, plug in the equation for c

Your equation should look like:

3(3a + 30) + 5a = 2820

You get:

(9a +90) + 5a = 2820

Then:

14a = 2730

So:

a = 195 adult tickets sold

Plug in a, to find c:

3 (195) + 30 = c

585 + 30 = c

c = 615 children tickets sold
