Answer: The total number of students that liked dancing after the addition of the new boys is 252

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us denote the total number of students at the party before the addition of the 20 boy students by "a".

Before the addition of of the new boys, 60% of the students at the party were girls. The actual number of girls before the addition =

(60/100) × a

= 3a/5 (number of girls before the addition)

After adding 20 boy students, the total number of students should now be "a + 20"

If the percentage of the girls in the party dropped to 58% from 60%, then the number of girls after the addition of the new boys will now be:-

58/100 × (a+20)

= (58a + 1160)/100 (number of girls after the addition)

Since the number of GIRLS at the party CANNOT increase after the addition of BOYS ONLY, then:

3a/5 = (58a + 1160)/100

Then cross multiplying;

3a × 100 = 5 × (58a + 1160)

300a = 290a + 5800

10a = 5800

a = 580

The total number of students at the party before the addition of the new boys was 580.

Now, if 40% of the total number of students at the party before the addition of the new boy students liked to dance, then the actual number of students that liked to dance is:

40/100 × 580

= 232 students.

If the newly added 20 students also liked to dance, then the current total number of students at the party that liked dancing is:

232 + 20

= 252 students.

After the addition of the 20 new boy students, the total number of students at the party that liked dancing will now be 252

Find the y-intercept from the line passing through (1, 3) and having slope m=2.
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

The y intercept is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 2x+b

Substitute the point into the equation and solve for y

3 = 2(1)+b

3 =2+b

1 = b

The y intercept is 1

Determine the distance between the following two points. (round to the nearest hundredths)
padilas [110]

Answer:

d=7.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Formula: d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance <em>d</em>:

d=\sqrt{(3-(-2))^2+(-4-1)^2}

d=\sqrt{(3+2)^2+(-5)^2}

d=\sqrt{(5)^2+25}

d=\sqrt{25+25}

d=\sqrt{50}

d=5\sqrt{2}

d=7.07
