Hello! To solve this question, we can write and solve a proportion. Because we are looking for the whole, which is the total amount of visitors on a Saturday, set the proportion up like this: 144/x = 60/100. This is because we are looking for the total amount of visitors, and we know that 144 is 60% of x number of visitors. Cross multiply the values in order to get 14,400 = 60x. Now, divide each side by 60 to isolate the "x". 14,400/60 is 240. x = 240. The art museum had 240 visitors that Saturday.

One strategy is to use ratios.

60% : 100% = 144 students : 240 total visitors

SCALE FACTOR: Divide 144 students by 60 percent which gives you 2.4 
Use the scale factor to multiply the missing term by the term that is matching with it.
So in this case 100% x 2.4 

ANSWER: 240 TOTAL VISITORS

Two high schools are going on a field trip. One rents 8 vans and 9 buses for 228 students. The other rents 4 vans and 5 buses fo
nevsk [136]

Answer:

No. pp you can fit in a van: 6,

No. pp you can fit in a bus: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v = # of pp in vans, and let b = # of pp in buses:

8v + 9b = 228,

4v + 5b = 124

If we solve this system of equations by substitution, we isolate the first eq. for v and then substitute into the bottom eq:

v = 228-9b/8,

Substitute v = 228-9b/8 into bottom eq:

[4 * 228-9b/8 + 5b = 125]

[228+b/2=124]

[228+b = 248]

[b = 20]

Now substitute 20 to find no. of pp in the vans:

v = 228 - 9(20)/8 = 228  - 180/8 = 48/8 = 6
