Answer:

Hand sanitizer=135 bottles

Bar soap=83 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the hand sanitizer and y the sop.

-Our problem can be expressed as:

x+y=218\ \ \ \ \  ...i\\\\4.25x+2.15y=752.20\ \ \ \ \  ...ii

#Make x the subject in i then substitute in ii to solve;

x=218-y\\\\\therefore 4.25(218-y)+2.15y=752.20\\\\926.5-4.25y+2.15y=752.20\\\\174.3=2.1y\\\\y=83\\\\x=218-83=135

Hence, 135 bottles of hand sanitizer and 83 bottles of bar soap were sold.

Pineapple juice : orange juice : lime juice = 2:7:3
So there is 2x of pineapple juice, 7x of orange juice and 3x of lime juice.

2x+7x+3x=600 \\
12x=600 \\
x=50 \\ \\
pineapple \ juice \to 2x = 2 \times 50=100

40% of the students in a class are girls and the number of boys is 24 find the total number of students and the number of girls​
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Girls = 16

Total students = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

40% of the students are girls, this means 60% of the students are boys.

To find the number of girls, setup a proportion using the percentages and actual number of students in the class. I am going to make the numerator the numbers that go with the girls and the denominator will be the numbers that go with the boys.

Also let's convert the percentages to decimals by moving the decimal two places left.

40% = 0.4 and 60% = 0.6

\frac{.4}{.6} =\frac{g}{24} \\.6g=9.6\\\frac{.6g}{.6} =\frac{9.6}{.6} \\g=16

Now let's find the total number of students by adding the number of girls to the number of boys.

16 + 24 = 40
