Answer:
There are 120 1st graders at Sierra Elementary School this year
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n represent the total number of 1st graders at Sierra Elementary School
Since 45% of all 1st graders at Sierra Elementary School are female students and this year there are 54 female 1st graders, 45% of n is equal to 54
→ n() = 54
→ 45n = 5400
→ n = 120
I assume there are some plus signs that aren't rendering for some reason, so that the plane should be

You're minimizing
subject to the constraint 
. Note that 
and 
attain their extrema at the same values of 
, so we'll be working with the squared distance to avoid working out some slightly more complicated partial derivatives later.
The Lagrangian is
Take your partial derivatives and set them equal to 0:
Adding the first three equations together yields
and plugging this into the first three equations, you find a critical point at
.
The squared distance is then
, which means the shortest distance must be 
.
