Step-by-step explanation:

Word Problems are mathematical problems presented in complete languages, rather than in mathematical notations.

Example:

A certain number is divided by half, the result is added to itself to give 6, what is the number?

Solution:

- Let the number be x

- Divide x by half:

In word problem, extra caution is to be taken, as misinterpretation can be very chaotic. Dividing a number by 2, is totally different from dividing the number by half.

4 divided by 2 is 4÷2 = 2

4 divided by half is 4÷½ = 4×2/1 = 8

2 and 8 are different, reason to be cautious.

So dividing x by half, we have:

x ÷ 1/2 = x × 2/1 = 2x.

- Now, what we have is

2x + x = 6

Solving this equation, we can obtain the value of x.

2x + x = 6

3x = 6

Dividing both sides by 3

3x/3 = 6/3

x = 2.

Therefore, the solution to the word problem is x = 2.

A circle graph titled Bachelor's Degrees Earned in the United States from 2009 to 2010. 22 percent is business, 10 percent is so
Helga [31]

Answer:

a) 60 graduates

b) Business and social science.

Step-by-step explanation:

In United States, from 2009 to 2010 the Bachelor's Degrees graduates are made up of 22% for business, 10% for social science, 8% is health related, 6% is education and 54% is others. Given that a sample of 1000 college graduates where used,

a) Number of graduates with education degree is equal to 6% of the total college graduates. Therefore:

Number of graduates with education degree = 6% × 1000 = 0.06 × 1000 = 60 graduates

b) Number of graduates with business degree = 22% × 1000 = 0.22 × 1000 = 220 graduates

Number of graduates with social science degree = 10% × 1000 = 0.1 × 1000 = 100 graduates

Number of graduates with health related degree = 8% × 1000 = 0.08 × 1000 = 80 graduates

Number of graduates with other degree = 54% × 1000 = 0.54 × 1000 = 540 graduates

Since Many graduates earn degrees in fields that result in high-paying jobs, the two fields most likely pay more than the others are that of business and social science.
