Answer:
a : b = 4 : 3
Step-by-step explanation:
(mark as brainlist answer)
According to the given condition is the question :
Two numbers a and b are such that the sum of 5% of a and 4% of b is two-third of the sum of 6% of a and 8% of b
⇒ (5% of a) + (4% of b) = (2/3) × [(6% of a) + (8% of b)
⇒ 0.05a + 0.04b = 2/3 × (0.06a + 0.08b)
⇒ 0.15a + 0.12b = 0.12a + 0.16b
⇒ 0.03a = 0.04b
⇒ a/b = 4/3
⇒ a : b = 4 : 3
Answer:
3x-x+2=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Children = x
Adults = y
x + y = 754...1
1.50x + 2.25y = 1422...2
Multiply (1) by 2.25
2.25x + 2.25y = 1696.50...3
1.50x + 2.25y = 1422...2
Subtract (2) from (3)
0.75x = 274.50
x = 366
Substitute x = 366 in (1)
x + y = 754
366 + y = 754
y = 388
366 children and 388 adults swam at the pool.
