Answer:
2/3 is the fraction of students who are boys.
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, a fraction consists of two parts: The denominator and the numerator. The denominator is the whole, while the number is a part of the whole (and sometimes above).
1. Since in your question, there are 24 students in total in the class, the denominator will be 24.
2. You said that 16 of them are boys, so 16 is the numerator.
3. In a fraction, it will be 16/24.
4. 16/24 can be simplified into 2/3 since both 16 and 24 can be divided by 8.
So our final answer is 2/3.

Answer: 4 dollars and 17 cents</h3><h3>This is the same as saying $4.17</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
15+35.50 = 50.50 dollars is the total before tax is applied.
Take 8.25% of this to get
0.0825*50.50 = 4.16625
and this rounds to 4.17, which is the amount of sales tax charged.
$4.17 = 4 dollars + 17 cents
---------
Extra info:
The grand total will be 50.50+4.17 = 54.67
Another way to get the grand total is to multiply 1.0825 by the previous subtotal (50.50) getting 50.50*1.0825 = 54.66625 and that rounds to 54.67
The multiplier 1.0825 effectively means "increase by 8.25%"
