Answer:

There are 450 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call

s = total number of students

am = American students

eu = European students

au = Australian students

<em>Half of the students in an International School are Americans.</em> Then,

1/2 s = am [1]

<em>One third of the remaining students are Europeans.</em>

The remaining students are s - 1/2 s = 1/2 s

1/3 × (1/2 s) = 1/6 s = eu  [2]

<em>There are 150 Australians.</em>

au = 150 [3]

The total number of students is the sum of Americans, Europeans and Australians.

am + eu + au = s

Replacing [1], [2] and [3].

1/2 s + 1/6 s + 150 = s

2/3 s + 150 = s

1/3 s = 150

s = 450

Answer:

450 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s = number of students

1/2 are Americans  1/2s are Americans

s -1/2s = number of students left

1/2 s = number of students left

1/3 of the students left are Europeans

1/3 (1/2s) = 1/6s  are Europeans

The rest are Australians = 150

Students = Americans + Europeans + Australians

   s          =   1/2s          +    1/6s    + 150

Combine like terms

s    = 1/2*3/3 *s + 1/6s +150

s = 3/6s + 1/6s +150

s = 4/6s + 150

Subtract 4/6s from each side

s -4/6s = 150

6/6s - 4/6s = 150

2/6s = 150

1/3s = 150

Multiply each side by 3

3* 1/3s = 150*3

s = 450

There are 450 students

Find the value of x in the triangle listed here. If you could show me the steps, I would appreciate it.
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

71°

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle shown is an isosceles triangle. Isosceles triangles have two equal sides and two equal angles. When all 3 angles are added, it should have a sum of 180°. The tip of the triangle is the part of the triangle with the smallest degree/angle. So the two remaining angles are the same amount.

180°=38°+x+?

180°=38°+71°+71°

Both missing angles are the same degree, and when both are added to 38, it has a sum of 180. x is equal to 71°.

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

J Compound interest; $298.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest compounding pays interest on the interest. For the same annual rate, any amount of compounding will earn more interest.

For short time periods, the effect of compounding is not great. In general, it will be a fraction of the equivalent simple interest rate. Here, the effective multiplier for annual compounding is ...

  1.051^4 = 1.22024337

and the effective multiplier for simple interest is ...

  1 +0.051·4 = 1.204

Then the difference in interest rate multiplier for the 4-year period is ...

  1.22024337 -1.204 = 0.01614337

That fraction of the $18500 principal is $298.65.

Compound interest earns $298.65 more than simple interest in this scenario.

Hope this helps, have an amazing day!
