Answer:

2 small boxes sent and 4 large boxes sent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of small boxes be S and the number of large boxes by L

Given that there were 2 more large boxes sent than small boxes, then

L = S + 2

Also given that each small box can hold 30 books and each large box can hold 55 books and altogether can hold 280 books.

30S + 55L = 280

Solve both equations simultaneously

30S + 55(S + 2) = 280

85S + 110 = 280

85S = 280 - 110

85S = 170

S = 170/85

S = 2

Since L = S + 2

L = 2 + 2 = 4

The number of small boxes sent and the number of large boxes sent are 2 and 4 respectively.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

0.5%/year

24.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimate the average yearly increase in the percentage of first-year college females claiming no religious affiliation

Percentage of females by year:

1980 = 6.2%

1990 = 10.8%

2000 = 13.6%

2012 = 21.7%

Average yearly increase :

Percentage increase between 1980 - 2012 :

2012% - 1980% = ( 21.7% - 6.2%) = 15.5% increase over [(2012 - 1980)] = 32 years

15.5 % / 32 years = 0.484375% / year = 0.5%/year

b. Estimate the percentage of first-year college females who will claim no religious affiliation in 2030,

Given an average increase of 0.484375% / year

(2030 - 1980) = 50 years

Hence by 2030 ; ( 50 years × 0.484375%/year) = 24.218% will claim no religious affiliation.

=24.2% (nearest tenth)
