Alright so turn 3/4 into a decimal.
3/4 =.75
We need to set up an equation. To do that are need to give boys and girls their own variables.
Girls= X
And since there is 3/4 as many boys
Boys=. 75X
Now we know the sum of boys and girls equals 35
X+.75X=35
X+.75X=1.75X
Now we have 1.75X=35
Divide by 1.75 and get
20=X
Now plug 20 into the equations got from before.
Boys =. 75*X = 20 *. 75 = 15
Girls = X =20
Your Answer:
15 boys
20 girls
You can check
20+15=35
15/20=3/4
A ) 15 I think because it the lowest number!
9/20 miles a minute or .45 miles a minute
Is there options for this question
Answer:
The car dealer must sell 105 cars in May to reach his goal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the car dealer sold 84 cars in April, and wants to increase his May sales by 25%, to determine the number of cars he must sell to reach his goal it is necessary to perform the following calculation:
84 + (84 x 0.25) = X
84 + 21 = X
105 = X
Therefore, the car dealer must sell 105 cars in May to reach his goal.
