Answer:

500 students in the school

Step-by-step explanation:

100 - 68% = 32%

boys percentage 68%

girls percentage 32%

difference 68 - 32 = 36% = 180

36 ÷ 18 = 2 × 50 = 100

180 ÷ 18 = 10 × 50 = 500

Answer:

500 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

This a system of equations you could write where t is the total amount of students in the school, b is the number of boys, and g is the number of girls:

0.68t=b

b+g=t

180+g=b

0.68t+g=t

g=0.32t

180+g=b

180+0.32t=0.68t

180=0.36t

t=500

For a certain​ candy, 20​% of the pieces are​ yellow, 15​% are​ red, 20​% are​ blue, 20​% are​ green, and the rest are brown. ​a
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the question we are given the percentages of each of the types of candies in the bag except for brown. Since the sum of all the percentages equals 75% and brown is the remaining percent then we can calculate that brown is (100-75 = 25%) 25% of the bag. Now we can show the probabilities of getting a certain type of candy by placing the percentages over the total percentage (100%).

  • Brown: \frac{25}{100}
  • Yellow or Blue: \frac{20}{100} +\frac{20}{100} = \frac{40}{100}  ....add the numerators
  • Not Green:  \frac{80}{100}.... since the sum of all the rest is 80%
  • Stiped:  \frac{25}{100} .... there are 0 striped candies.

Assuming the <u><em>ratios/percentages</em></u> of the candies stay the same having an infinite amount of candy will not affect the probabilities. That being said in order to calculate consecutive probability of getting 3 of a certain type in a row we have to multiply the probabilities together. This is calculated by multiplying the numerators with numerators and denominators with denominators.

  • 3 Browns: \frac{25*25*25}{100*100*100} = \frac{15,625}{1,000,000} = \frac{1.5625}{100}

  • the 1st and 3rd are red while the middle is any. We multiply 15% * (total of all minus red which is 85%) * 15% like so.

\frac{15*85*15}{100*100*100} = \frac{19,125}{1,000,000} = \frac{1.9125}{100}

  • None are Yellow: multiply the percent of all minus yellow three times.

\frac{80*80*80}{100*100*100} = \frac{512,000}{1,000,000} = \frac{51.2}{100}

  • At least 1 green: multiply the percent of green by 100% twice, since the other two can by any

\frac{20*100*100}{100*100*100} = \frac{200,000}{1,000,000} = \frac{20}{100}

A certain triangle, one angle measures ten degrees more than the second angle and ten degrees less than the third angle. What is
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

50°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Let the angle = x

Second angle = x + 10

Third angle = x - 10

Sum of angles in a triangle = 180

x + (x + 10) + (x - 10) = 180

x + x + 10 + x - 10 = 180

3x = 180

x = 180 / 3

x = 60

Smallest angle :

x - 10 = 60 - 10 = 50°
