Answer:
12 girls.
Step-by-step explanation:
24 ÷ 2 = 12
(This is divided to find out 1 part of the whole class as ⅓)
⅓ = 12
1 (whole) take away ⅔ = ⅓
Since ⅔ + ⅓ = 1
⅓ = fraction of girls in class
1 part = 12
So ⅓ = 12 girls out of 36 total students
Hope this helps. :)
Assume Josh made X cupcakes; Alice made Y cupcakes; Tom made Z cupcakes.
Josh made 10 more cakes than Alice so,
X = Y + 10 ---- 1st Eqn.
Alice made 8 more than Tom so,
Y= Z+8 --- 2nd Eqn.
Total cakes = 62 so,
X+Y+Z = 62 ---- 3rd Eqn.
by solving three equations we get X= 30; Y= 20; Z=12.
So Tom made 12 cupcakes
One expression: 0.75 x 55
another expression: (100% - 25%) x 55
