Answer: fluffy is 11 years old
Scuffy is 8 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the present age of Fluffy the cat.
Let y represent the present age of Scuffy the dog.
Fluffy the cat is 3 years older than Scuffy the dog. This means that
x = y + 3 - - - - - -- - - - - 1
Six less than five times Scruffy's age is one more than three times Fluffy's age. This means that
5y - 6 = 3x + 1
5y - 3x = 1 + 6
5y - 3x = 7 - - - - - - - - - -2
Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, it becomes
5y - 3(y + 3) = 7
5y - 3y - 9 = 7
5y - 3y = 7 + 9
2y = 16
y = 16/2 = 8
x = y + 3
x = 8 + 3 = 11
-1/5 * n ≤ 17
n ≥ -17/5 is the answer
Answer:
-12/8 or -1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
3.75 each, 6 friends, $20. 6 multiplied by 3.75 is 18.75. you can buy 5 sandwiches
The sample % of these two populations would be 100/size (of student body at each school) x 100 so this would compare the two student bodies preferences for the particular type of candy bar. However, the actual % of the whole student body at each school would be a factor also. If the high school only had 200 students then this would be 50% representative but if the middle school had say 500 students this would only be 20% representative so this would have to be taken into account too. It might be more representative to have the same % of the student bodies respectively for the sample.
