Answer:

John received 10% of the overall votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the number of votes John got  = m

So, the number of votes Vivienne received =   3 times (John's share )

 = 3  times m   =  3 m

Also, The number of Votes Nassim received = 2 times ( Vivienne's share)

2 x (3 m)   = 6 m

Total Votes in the grade 6  

= Votes received by { John + Vivienne + Nassim}

= m + (3 m) + (6 m) = 10 m

Hence, the total number of students who voted in grade 6  = 10 m

\textrm{The percentage of John's Votes }  = \frac{\textrm{Number of votes John received}}{\textrm{Total number of votes }}  \times 100

= \frac{m}{10m}  \times 100 = 10

or, The percentage of John's Votes  = 10%

Hence, John received 10% of the overall votes.

A baker buys 19 apples of two different varieties to make pies. The total cost of the apples is $5.10. Granny Smith apples cost
Natasha2012 [34]

The baker bought 7 gala apples, and 12 granny smiths apples

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of gala apples bought

Let "y" be the number of granny smith apples bought

Cost of 1 gala apple = $ 0.30

Cost of 1 granny smith apple = $ 0.25

<em><u>A baker buys 19 apples of two different varieties to make pies</u></em>

Therefore,

number of gala apples bought + number of granny smith apples bought = 19

x + y = 19 --------- eqn 1

<em><u>The total cost of the apples is $5.10</u></em>

Therefore, we can frame a equation as:

number of gala apples bought x Cost of 1 gala apple + number of granny smith apples bought x Cost of 1 granny smith apple = 5.10

x \times 0.30 + y \times 0.25 = 5.10

0.3x + 0.25y = 5.1 -------- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

From eqn 1,

x = 19 - y ---------- eqn 3

<em><u>Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2</u></em>

0.3(19 - y) + 0.25y = 5.1

5.7 - 0.3y + 0.25y = 5.1

5.7 - 0.05y = 5.1

0.05y = 5.7 - 5.1

0.05y = 0.6

y = 12

<em><u>Substitute y = 12 in eqn 3</u></em>

x = 19 - 12

x = 7

Thus the baker bought 7 gala apples, and 12 granny smiths apples
