Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 12 boys and 6 girls, meaning there are 18 students. The girls are 1/3 out of those 18.
0.03(3-0.5)
0.03(2.5)
0.075
The second answer.
You have the first prize, x.
Then you have the second prize, which is x - 50.
Then you have the third prize, which is x - 50 -50, or x - 100.
So the total money is:
x + (x-50) + (x-100).
Solve for r.
You want to get r by itself on one side on the equal sign.
bh + hr = 25
Subtract bh from both sides.
hr = 25 - bh
Divide h on both sides.
r = 25 - bh / h
The two h's cancel each other out.
r = 25 - b
Hope this helps!
I'd say the answer would be 8.
