Answer:

What we know is that 30% of the group have brown hair and are girls. It means that in the other 70% we have the boys with brown hair, the other boys and the other girls.

In the case all the girls have brown hair, the 70% remaining would be boys. So 70% of then would have brown hair. (0.7*0.7=0.49 -> 49% of the children would be brown hair) so 49% (boys) and 30% (girls) are more than 50%..

Now, let's suppouse that 90% of the group are girls. It means 10% are boys and 70% of that 10% (=7%) are the boys in the group that have brown hair. Now 7% + 30% of the children have brown hair, wich isn't more than the half.

So, this is a proportion problem. If we express 75% as a fraction (3/4ths), we have:

$\frac{370+x}{500+x}=\frac{3}{4}$

Since he won all of his games, we add the number won (x), to the number previously won and divide it by the total games played which is just the previous games played plus the number of current games played, so since he lost no games we still add x to the denominator as well. Solving this gives us:

$4(370+x)=3(500+x) \implies\\ 1480+4x=1500+3x \implies \\ x=20$

That x value is 20.

To find the area subtract the area of the semicircle from the area of the rectangle.

Although the line isn’t there, if you imagine there is one, then you will see that you form a rectangle which is the same line as the semicircle’s diameter.

The area of rectangle is:

⇒ $A = lw$
