There are 32 students that select a favorite topping.

Let x be the total number of students.
1/2 of the students, or 1/2x, choose pepperoni.
1/4 of the students, or 1/4x, choose cheese.
1/8 of the students, or 1/8x, choose sausage.
4 students choose mushrooms.

We know that if we add all of the students together we will get the total number of students, which we defined as x:

1/2x+1/4x+1/8x+4=x

We will use 8 as the common denominator of these fractions:
4/8x+2/8x+1/8x+4=x

Adding like terms,
7/8x+4 = x

Subtract 7/8x from both sides:
7/8x+4-7/8x = x-7/8x
4 = 1x-7/8x
4 = 1/8x

Divide both sides by 1/8:
4÷(1/8) = 1/8x÷(1/8)
4/1 ÷ 1/8 = x
4/1 × 8/1 = x
32/1 = x
32 = x

There are 32 students.

PLEASE HELP!!! ITS TWO PARTS
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

$78, $79.20

Step-by-step explanation:

PART A: $60 times 1.3 = $78

you add 30% to 100% to get 130% since it is a mark up, and then you convert to a decimal by going to the left twice then multiplying by original price.

PART B

Since it is a discount you subtract 15 percent from 100, but then add back 5 percent since there is tax applied to get 90%, convert to decimal and multiply by original price to get $88 x .9 = $79.20

In one school, half of all students who like math like science as well. Also, in that school, a third of all students who like s
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have 'x' students who like math and 'y' students that like science, we can formulate that:

Half of x likes math and science, and also one third of y likes math and science, so:

(1/2) * x = (1/3) * y

x / y = (1/3) / (1/2)

x / y = (1/3) * 2 = 2/3

So the ratio of the number of students who like math to the number of students who like science is 2/3

In one area, the lowest angle of elevation of the sun in winter is 27.5°. Find the minimum distance x that a plant needing full
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The minimum distance x that a plant needing full sun can be placed from a fence that is 5 feet high is 4.435 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the lowest angle of elevation of the sun given as 27.5° and the height of the fence is 5 feet.

We will then find the position to place the plant where the suns rays can get to the base of the plant

Note that the fence is in between the sun and the plant, therefore we have

Height of fence = 5 ft.

Angle of location x from the fence = lowest angle of elevation of the sun, θ

This forms a right angled triangle with the fence as the height and the location of the plant as the base

Therefore, the length of the base is given as

Height × cos θ

= 5 ft × cos 27.5° = 4.435 ft

The plant should be placed at a location x = 4.435 ft from the fence.
