Answer:

There are 32 dogs and 72 animals in total.  

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the amount of dogs, you need to set up an equation to solve for the missing variable.  Let 'c' be the amount of cats and 'd' be the amount of dogs.  We know that there are 40 cats, so c = 40.  We also know that there are 25% more cats than dogs, so we can form an equation to express this difference:  1.25d = c, indicating that the number of cats is equal to the total number of dogs, plus an additional 25%.  Since we know c = 40, we can set our second equation equal to 40:  1.25d = 40.  Using inverse operations, we divide both sides by 1.25 to get d = 32.  So, d + c, or 32 + 40 = 72 total animals.

In a group of 28 students, 12 study both Art and Biology.
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use conditional probability:

P(B | A) = P(B and A) / P(A)

P(B | A) = (12/28) / P(A)

We need to find the probability that a student studies art.

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A and B)

24/28 = P(A) + (12+12)/28 − 12/28

P(A) = 12/28

P(B | A) = (12/28) / (12/28)

P(B | A) = 1

What this means is that all of the students who study art also study biology.

A music website charges x dollars for individual songs and y dollars for entire albums. Person A pays $25.92 to download 6 indiv
kati45 [8]
Amount charged for downloading individual songs = x dollars
Amount charged for downloading an entire album = y dollars
In respect to person A:
6x + 2y = 25.92
3x + y = 12.96
y = 12.96 - 3x
In respect to person B:
4x + 3y = 33.93
Putting the value of y from the first equation in the second, we get
4x + 3(12.96 - 3x) = 33.93
4x + 38.88 - 9x = 33.93
- 5x = - 4.95
x = 0.99 dollars
Putting the value of x in the first equation, we get
y = 12.96 - 3x
   = 12.96 - 2.97
   = 9.99 dollars

Find a fraction equivalent to 5/7 whose squared terms add up to 1184.
bogdanovich [222]

The system of equations of two unknowns is formulated and solved.

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ \left\{\begin{matrix} \ \ \ \dfrac{x}{y} = \dfrac{5}{7} \\ x^2+y^2 = 1184 \end{matrix}\right. \ \Longrightarrow \ x=\dfrac{5}{7}y  } \end{gathered}$}

\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ \left (\dfrac{5}{7}y \right )^2+y^2=1184\ \Longrightarrow\ 25y^2+49y^2=58016 } \end{gathered}$}

                                                              \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{74y^{2}=58016} \end{gathered}$}\\\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ \ \  \ \ \ \ y^{2}=784 } \end{gathered}$}\\\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ \ \ \ \ \ y=\pm\sqrt{784}=\pm28  } \end{gathered}$}

                                                                  \large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{ x=\dfrac{5}{7}(\pm 28)=\pm 20  } \end{gathered}$}

The fraction that satisfies the request is \bf{\dfrac{20}{28}} , since in \bf{\dfrac{-20}{-28}} the negative signs are canceled and the first fraction is obtained.
