Well if the girl sold the same number of larges but one less small and she made $5 less, then you know that the small boxes are $5. From there take the equation 2s + 7L =52 and subtract 10 from 52 (the two small boxes equal 10) You're left over with 7L= 42 so then do 42/7 = $6 per big box

So First of you'd make equations using what we know 3s+7L=57 2s+7L=52
so because these equations have only a difference of one small box this tells us that one small box is $5 so then using the second equation we can find the value of the large boxes 2(5)+7L=52 7L=42. 42/7=6 one large box is $6.

45 of the 80 children in the club or girls what was the ratio of boys to girls in the club?

Oxana [17]

There are 80 children. 45 of them are girls. The amount of boys is equal to:

$80-45 = 35$

That means there are 45 girls and 35 boys.

The ratio of boys to girls is: $35:45$

Simplify:

$35 \div 5 = 7 \\ 45 \div 5 = 9 \\ \\35:45 \rightarrow 7:9$

Your answer is 7:9

What is the value of x? a. 71° b. 142° c. 152° d. 76°

alexgriva [62]

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
An isosceles triangle has two congruent sides.
The angles opposite the congruent sides are congruent.
Just like the bottom left angle measures x, the bottom right angle also measures x.

x + x + 38 = 180

2x + 38 = 180

2x = 142

x = 71

ladessa [460]

Answer: 1000

Step-by-step explanation: you do 4% multiplied by x = 40

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 4,

we have x = 40 × 100/4

40×100÷4

And you get 1000
