Five ice cream cones would cost 13.75 at the rate that each cone costs 2.75
Answer:
Girls = 16
Total students = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
40% of the students are girls, this means 60% of the students are boys.
To find the number of girls, setup a proportion using the percentages and actual number of students in the class. I am going to make the numerator the numbers that go with the girls and the denominator will be the numbers that go with the boys.
Also let's convert the percentages to decimals by moving the decimal two places left.
40% = 0.4 and 60% = 0.6
Now let's find the total number of students by adding the number of girls to the number of boys.
16 + 24 = 40
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 9 = 11
+9 +9
x = 20
We can say that exchanging one couple's ticket for an individual's ticket would increase the money in the cash box from 200 to 202 and it would result in an even number of couples tickets sold.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let the number of tickets sold to the individuals = s
Let the number of tickets sold to the couples = c
According to the question,
s + c = 46 ( Equation 1)
Since each individual's ticket is $6, the total amount of money made by selling tickets to individuals is 6s.
Similarly, since each ticket sold to couples is $8, the total amount of money made by selling tickets to couples is 8c.
So,
6 s + 8 c = 200 ( Equation 2)
On solving both the equations, we get
c = 38 and s = 8
Therefore, 8 tickets were sold to individuals and 38 tickets were sold to the couples.
