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

It is 30 degrees. Add 90 and 60 to get 180. Then subtract that from 180, since all triangles interior angles add to 180. You’ll get 30.
