Girls= g
boys=b
50=g+b
Now we know that 30% of the girls are younger than 12. That's already half to answer...
We also know that 40% of the boys are OLDER than 12, which leaves 60% of the boys YOUNGER than 12.
This makes us know that 30%+60% out of 50 kids are younger than 12
30%+60%=90%

90% of the kids are younger than 12 
90% of 50 is 45

ANSWER: 45 kids are younger than 12

A business is using two painters to paint 3 offices, each with 1,200 square feet of wall space. one painter can paint 190 square
ivann1987 [24]
To determine the total time it needs for the two painters to completely paint the whole wall space, we need to relate the total area of the wall to be painted and the time they need. So, base from the problem, the relation would just be a linear function. We do as follows:

let A = total area of the wall space
     t = total time they both need

Painter 1 = <span>190 square feet per hour
Painter 2 = </span><span>130 square feet per hour
total area = 1200 ft^2 (3) = 3600 ft^2

The function would be:

A = 190t + 130t
3600 = 190t + 130t
3600 = 320t
t = 11.25 hrs

A car rental agency advertised renting a car for $24.95 per day and $0.28 per mile. If Greg rents this car for 3 days, how many
kirza4 [7]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Greg rent the car for 3 day so 3 x 24.95= $74.85 off the top without driving a single mile.

If he has a budget of $250, his remainder budget for mileage is $250 - $74.85 = $175.15.

How many miles he can travel at $0.28/mile with $175.15 budget?

Greg can drive $175.15/0.28 = 625.53 or 625 Miles

What percentage increase occurs in the price of a round-trip economy plane ticket from New York to London by electing to go duri
balandron [24]
To find the percent increase, you will first find the difference in price for the peak season economy and the regular economy price.

$526.3-$440.8=$85.50

Then divide the difference by the beginning price(economy).

85.50/440.8= 0.19

The percent increase is approximately 19%.
