Answer: 600

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 24% of boys in a school , this means that the number of girls will be :

100% - 24 %

= 76%

That means there are 76% of girls in the school.

Let the total number of students in the school be x, this means that

24% of x = number of boys

76% of x = number of girls

Since the total number of girls is given to be 456 , then

76% of x = 456

0.76x = 456

x = 456/0.76

x = 600

That means there are 600 students all together in the school

Answer:

600 students

Step-by-step explanation:

100% - 24% = 76%

76% = 456

100%= x

76x = 456x100

x = 45600÷76

x= 600 students (total)

A glass is 4/7 full. Then 70 cm³ orange juice is poured in. The glass is now 3/4 full.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The volume of the glass is 217.8 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

If the glass were initially 4/7 full, that means 3/7 of the volume is still available to hold more juice.

Let v represent the volume of the glass.  

Then (3/7)v + 70 cm³ = (3/4)v.

We need to solve this for v.

Here the LCD is 28.  Thus,

(3/7)v + 70 cm³ = (3/4)v →  (12/28)v + 70 cm³ = (21/28)v.

Subtracting  (12/28)v from both sides, we get:

70 cm³ = (9/28)v.

We can isolate v by mult. both sides by the inverse of 9/28, which is 28/9:

(28/9)(70 cm³) = v

The volume of the glass is 217.8 cm³

Mary bought 4 gallons of milk for $10.00. Jill bought 2.5 gallons for $6.00.
RoseWind [281]

Step-by-step explanation:  

In order to find the better buy, we must find the cheaper unit price or price per gallon.  To find the price per gallon, divide the cost by the number of gallons.

Mary

Mary bought 4 gallons for $11.

The price is $11 and the gallons are 4.

Jill

Jill bought 2.5 gallons for $7.25

The price is $7.25 and the gallons are 2.5

Better buy

Mary paid $2.75 per gallon and Jill paid $2.90 per gallon. 2.75 is less than 2.90, so Mary had the better buy.
