Answer:

63 people

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following:

Let P: the subset of those 25 who would not go to a park

Let B: the subset of those 27 who would not go to the beach

Let C: the subset of those 24 that would not go to a cottage

Thus:

The intersection PB of subsets P and B consists of 10 people (i.e. neither a park nor a beach)

The intersection BC of subsets B and C consists of 7 people (i.e. neither beach nor cottage)

The intersection PC of subsets P and C consists of 6 people (i.e. neither a park nor a cottage)

We are also told that the PBC intersection of subsets P, B, and C consists of 4 person (i.e. would not go to a park, beach, or cottage)

The complement of the union of the sets P, B and C for the whole group consists of 6 people (that is, willing to go to the three places)

The formula to apply is as follows:

# (PUBUC) = #A + #B + #C - #AnB - #BnC - #AnC + #AnBnC

Replacing:

 = 25 + 27 + 24 - 10 - 7 - 6 + 4

= 57 people

those who are willing to all who are 6 would be missing us, therefore:

57 + 6 = 63

The group consists of a total of 63 people.

Find the solution to the following system using substitution or elimination:​
raketka [301]

Answer:

B) (3,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + 7

y = 3x - 8

3x - 8 = -2x + 7

combine like terms:

5x = 15

divide both sides of the equation by 5:

x = 3

y = 3(3) - 8 = 1

What is the decimal multiplier to decrease by 72%?
mixer [17]

Answer:

0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in question that,we have to decrease by 72%.that means from 100% of total, 72% should be decreased. that means an overall of 28% will be left. so if you make a number into 28% of it, it implies that you have decreased that number by 72%.so from this,we can say that we have to make the number 28%.that means we have to multiply the number with 28/100 which is equal to 0.28.
