raketka [301]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

45 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Remark
  • There are only 2 choices for gender. So if the class is 60% girls, the there must be 100 - 60 = 40% for the boys.
  • But we are told that the boys are 30 in number.
  • Let x = the total number of students.

Solution

  • 40/100 * x = 30              Change the % to a decimal
  • 0.4 x = 30                       Divide both sides by 0.4
  • 0.4 x / 0.4 = 30 / 0.4      Do the division
  • x = 30/0.4
  • x = 75 students in total

Formula

Total of Boys and Girls = Number of boys + number of girls.

Givens

  • Total = 75
  • Number of boys = 30

Solution II

  • 75 = x + 30                 Subtract 30 from each side
  • 75 - 30 = x +30 - 30
  • 45 = x
  • There are 45 girls in the class.

Find the inverse g(x)=x/5-6
STALIN [3.7K]
Interpreted: g(x) = \frac{x}{5} - 6
Let y = g(x)
y = \frac{x}{5} - 6
x = \frac{y}{5} - 6 (Interchange the x and y-values)

\frac{y}{5} = x + 6 (Solve for y)
y = 5(x + 6)

\therefore g^{-1}(x) = 5(x + 6)

6.25t plus 8 = 12.5t plus 13
givi [52]

6.25t + 8 = 12.5t + 13

Subtract 8 from both sides

6.25t = 12.5t +5

Subtract 12.5t from both sides

-6.25t = 5

Divide -6.25 by both sides

t = 0.8

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the smallest is called "a"

We can re-write the question like this:

a+(a+1)+(a+2)+(a+3) = 174

4a+6=174

4a=168

a=42
