Answer:
55 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Jim ran 15 miles in 5 days
no. of miles ran in 5 days = 15 miles
dividing LHS and RHS by 5
no. of miles ran in 5/5(=1) days = 15/5 miles = 3 miles
no. of miles ran in 1 day = 3 miles
let the no. of days taken to run 165 miles be x ----A
No of miles ran in x days = x*no. of miles ran in 1 day = 3x miles
thus, From A
3x = 165
x = 165/3 = 55
Thus, it took 55 days for JIM to run 165 miles
10 students (brass)=40% of band
4 students (strings)=16% of band
? students (other)=44% rest of band
14/56%=?/44%
(cross multiply to find ?){don't forget to turn percents into decimals}
?=11
There are 25 students in total in the band.
The sales tax adds an extra $1.50 to the price which will make the total $20.25.
