<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

If six sacks are to be taken at a time, the weight of each sack should be at most 308 pounds.

<h2>Why?</h2>

To calculate the weight that each sack should have, we first need to calculate how many pounds of the elevator capacity are free after is on it.

We know that Kevin weighs 150 pounds and the capacity of the elevator is 2000 pounds, so, calculating we have:

AvailableCapacity(pounds)=2000pounds-KevinWeighs=2000pounds-150pounds\\\\AvailableCapacity(pounds)=2000pounds-150pounds=1850pounds

Now that we already know that there are 1850 pounds left to take the delivering sacks, we need to divide it by the number of sacks that need to be taken at a time, so:

Weight=\frac{1850pounds}{Sacks}=\frac{1850pounds}{6}=308.33pounds

So, we have that if six sacks are to be taken at a time, the weight of each sack should be at most 308 pounds.

Have a nice day!

18% of the the students at a school are in year 8 and 16% of the students are in year 9. If the school has 126 tera 8 students,
yarga [219]

Answer:

112

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of all percentage questions is: the chunk= (some percentage) (of the whole), or c=p*w

We know that 18% of students are 8th grade and that is 126 students, so p = 0.18 and c=126 (126 students are 18% of the whole school)

126 = (0.18)w, divide both sides by 0.18

126/(0.18) = w = 700

9th graders are 16% of the school or 16% of 700 students

c = (0.16) 700 = 112 students
